No, The regexp Patrick wrote would delete any <html> code found in the string.

If you wanted to delete all of the < and > out of a string you could do somthing like

$string =~ s/<|>//;

ok so it should be something like:

$formdata =~ s/<.+?>//isg;

i guess that will take out the < or > in html?

You could disallow the characters when parsing the form, or replace them so that the information comes out, but the link isn't active (such as replacing < with < and > with > so that it looks like this:

<a href="...."> instead of being an active link.

Or you could program it so that if there is any HTML it returns an error stating such and redirecting the person to remove it from their form entry.

hth,
