$stripped = strip_tags($data_field_name);

you can also specifiy tags to be left in.....read the website page for more

Subject: [PHP] Re: strip HTML


Thanks James:

  I had figured that part out (should of said so). What is happening is
a form is passing the stuff to another page that does the DB UPDATE. The
form action is
  <form name=\"cform\" method=\"post\" action=\"update.php\">.
Where I am lost is where to put the strip_tags() like
action=strip_tages("update.php");
