check_plain
function check_plain
check_plain($text)
Encodes special characters in a plain-text string for display as HTML.
Also validates strings as UTF-8 to prevent cross site scripting attacks on Internet Explorer 6.
Parameters
string $text: The text to be checked or processed.
Return value
string An HTML safe version of $text. If $text is not valid UTF-8, an empty string is returned and, on PHP < 5.4, a warning may be issued depending on server configuration (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47494).
