FORCING ONLY TEXT TO BE DISPLAYED ON YOUR PAGES - Aug 3rd, 2010

If your editors are savvy they can force html code to be displayed in what you’ve set up as a text only field with some potentially negative effects on your page layout. Here’s a hidden gem from Dave at Interactive Tools that can help to guard against that. According to Dave, you can force the entry to be displayed as text (even if they enter HTML) by adding "htmlspecialchars" in the display tag like this: <?PHP echo htmlspecialchars($record['content']); ?> That should dissuade any hot shot editors from bending the rules.
