Excuse me.. you mean you are accepting user input with your eyes wide
shut ?!?! No validation or formatting at all ?
Bad practice to start with...

But hey.. it's your app that will get hacked, not mine.

For solving the ? puzzle, set the form encoding to the correct charset,

and use htmlentities() *with* the optional encoding parameter.

It that doesn't help you, be more specific in your question.
