Hey,
I've read the manual entry on preg_replace() and i've used google for help but i'm
still confused as it all looks horribly complicated..
What i want to do is when a user submits a quote for example "<@TheHeadSage> lol" i
want to remove the <>'s and replace them with < and > so they display
properly on a webpage. How would i go about this using preg_replace() or another function like it?
Also, my second question which ties into the whole quote thing, how do i select random rows from a
MySQL database? So i can get a random quote every time the user reloads the page or a new visitor
arrives.
Thanks again,
Daniel "TheHeadSage" Spain
