Make data safe...among other things



function makeSafe($variable) {

	$variable = htmlentities($variable, ENT_QUOTES);

  	

	if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { 

		$variable = stripslashes($variable); 

	}

 	$variable = strip_tags($variable);

	$variable = str_replace("\r\n", "", $variable);

 	

	return $variable;
