note 85940 added to function.strip-tags

I was looking for a simple way to ban html from review posts, and the like. I have seen a few classes to do it. This line, while it doesn't strip the post, effectively blocks people from posting html in review and other forms. if (strlen(strip_tags($review)) < strlen($review)) { return false; } If you want to further get by the tricksters that use & for html links, include this: if (strlen(strip_tags($review)) < strlen($review)) { return false; } elseif ( strpos($review, "&") !== false) { return 5; } I hope this helps someone out! ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.101.134.60 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85940 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85940 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85940 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
