Try this:
$text = nl2br(htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($text)));
With $text being the data outputted. It will replace apostrophes, quotes,
etc. with their proper html formatting.
Example: input: "PHP is Cool!"
html output: "PHP is Cool!"
Then if you don't want the $quot;, or whatever is outputted depending on the
input, you can write a script to strip them out if you like. There are lots
of things you can do from this point. Anyway, hope that helps you out...
