This is more of a question, but yeah.. in a forum type environment, would it not be much simpler to do this: $text = str_replace("<", "&lt;", $text); $text = str_replace(">", "&gt;", $text); this seems much simpler to me, as many people oblivious to the existance of HTML may try to use < and > in their posts... any suggestions?
