HTH, Brad I ended up using strip_tags (thanks Brad) But to disable other ways of getting javascript to run I also included this.... $pattern = array('/(javascript)/','/([jJ(j)][aA(a)][vV(v)][aA(a)][sS( 5)][cC(c)][rR(r)][iI(i)][pP(p)][tT(t)])/','/(\.[jJ(j) ][sS(s)])/','/([xX][sS(s)][sS(s)])/','/([xX][mM][lL])/'); $candidateNewBio = preg_replace($pattern, '', $candidateNewBio); Is this worthwhile or a waste of time, because it seems to really protect your site, you need have a contingency for every possible attack....
