Does this depend on if the input is going to be printed to the user? In my case I need to return the input back to the user (comments and bio).
Thanks!!!

htmlspecialchars()is enough to prevent XSS.Strip tags removes tags but not special characters like
"or', so if you usestrip_tags()you also have to usehtmlspecialchars().If you want users’ comments to be displayed like they typed them, don’t use strip_tags, use htmlspecialchars() only.
