It seems to me that pretty much everything that you are gonig to show to the
user via html should be passed through htmlentities().
the question is, is it better to do it once on the way in to the database or
every time you get it out?
the plus of doing it on the way in is that you only have to do it once. the
problem is that you loose the real content (unless there is an
htmlunentities()).
cheers, Angus.
