I just want to strip tags a> every input the user entered ... strip_tags() returns a string, you're passing an array into it, so it is returning Array. The strip tags function cannot work with arrays, you need to give it a string. Here is a technique I use to iterate through a $_POST array, it should work for you too: <?php function strip (&$item1, $key) { $item1 = strip_tags($item1); } array_walk($_POST, 'strip'); ?> If an element of $_POST is an array this won't work, you would need to do something like: array_walk($_POST['array_name'], 'strip') for that particular array instead. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
