check comment for html

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

hi, I just wanted to check if a comment a user posts contains HTML, and if it does, to not allow it to be posted.

this is my current php, any help would be very much appreciated! thanks.


Code:
<?php

$comment=$_POST['comment'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$website=$_POST['website'];
$date=date("y/m/d h:i:s");

if($name && $email && $comment){

$sql="INSERT INTO `comments` (`name`, `email`, `website`, `articleid`, `comment`, `datetime`) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$website', '$id', '$comment', '$date')";
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());


if($result){


echo "Your comment was posted succesfully on the article n";
echo $rows['title'];
echo '<p><a href="view_article.php?id=';
echo $id;
echo '">Click here to go back to the article.</a></p>';
}else {
echo "Sorry, your comment could not be posted. Please make sure you fill in all the fields marked with *.n";

}
}else {
echo "Sorry, your comment could not be posted. Please make sure you fill in all the fields marked with *.n";
}
?>
