I've got a function for making input safe. One takes from a textarea on a form.
The problem is when someone types a few paragraphs in it, using regular sentence stuff like ( ' , . () ? ) it kicks it out and gives them my error message.
How can I keep out the unsafe stuff, but still allow someone to "speak their mind"? Something like a preg_replace maybe?
If so, how can I add it on to my other function?
Thanks
Dan
