[BNM] HTML Sanitation in PHP

[AndrewGill73@gmail.com]

Leo,
Hello. If I understand you correctly I think this might help:

http://htmlpurifier.org/

It is a php library that validates html, it looks very good although I've
not had an opportunity to use it myself yet. Also It looks like there is a
wordpress plug-in which might also help.

Good luck.

Cheers,
