I've seen this topic somewhere in this forum, but I can't find it.

How do I rip off HTML tags from the data that user submitted, or at least detect HTML tags or parts of HTML tags.
Some users might try to submit something like:


or


or even a whole HTML document. I need to prevent it for well known reasons.


Thank you in advance.

try this:



if ($line =~ /<a\s+href[^>]+>([^<]+)<\/a>/i){
&site_html_add_failure ("You're message!! ");
return;
}

I would check out the HTML::Parse module, available at CPAN.

and it's not working. It still does not detect if a user submitted an HTML tag.
