Jul 04, 2014, by admin
It’s always important to clean/sanitize variables that are submitted via web forms to prevent against all kinds of different malicious threat. Here is a complete function to clean your variables before use.
function clean($value) {
// If magic quotes not turned on add slashes.
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
// Adds the slashes.
{ $value = addslashes($value); }
// Strip any tags from the value.
$value = strip_tags($value);
// Return the value out of the function.
return $value;
}
$sample = “<a href=’#’>This a test</a>”;
$sample = clean($sample);
echo $sample;
