links chages to 'li<x>nks' when inserted into database

[khr2003]

Hi
Basically when I try to insert the work links into an a mysql database through a php script the word changes to 'li<x>nks'.

Does anyone know why?

I tried to make the insert on a single page (so other functions or scripts would not affect it) but with same result.

When I searched google for 'li<x>nks' I found many website that have the exact word in their posts or topics but could not find a solution.

My thought is that it related to <li> tag, but this is just a blind guess.

Please could you post your code so that we can see if there is anything that would cause the problem?
