You could use eregi_replace() to remove things you don't want to have in your
text. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php

At least when I have a form, I don't use stripslashes() or any other way to
remove slashes, as when normally writing something in a form you don't add
slashes.
