fuction to remove tags

Hi
How do you think if I define a function like this:
function m($variable){
$variable=addslashes($variable);
$variable=strip_tags($variable);
$variable=mysql_real_scape_string($variable);
return $variable;
}

 

You don't need addslashes() if you're already using mysql_real_escape_string(). And maybe you want to use trim() as well. Aaaand I would use htmlsecialchars() instead of strip_tags()... but that's just me. It also depends on what you want to do with the variable.

 

right, and you can also use stripslashes (but before mysql_real_escape_string() if you use it).
