I've got a problem. I've got a form, where it submits some info and adds it to a txt file. The file is then displayed on the front page of my site; however, there is a security problem i'd like to fix dealing with html. How would you go about disabling the use of html in a form? Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

You can use htmlentities() function to disable html entries before display back your text on the screen..

eg:

<?
txt=htmlentities(txt);
echo txt;
?>

check it out the manual for details.
