I have a user form where users can post comment on articles. i need to allow strong, em and span tags for user inputs. I know this can be achieved through strip_tags function but i also want the other tags not to stripped but be changed using say htmlspecialchars function so that tags can be seen in the page.
I hope it made sense.
Strip tags isn’t safe. It’d allow a tag like
<strong onmouseover="alert('xss');">mouse over this lol</strong>through. Use HTMLPurifier
