It was a pain in the a$$, but I had to reorder some of the plugin edits and add this code to 2 of my plugins:
Code:
// remove the html code from $userinfo['musername']
$userinfo['musername'] = preg_replace("/\<[a-zA-Z0-9 \:\;\"\'\,\.\?\/\~\`\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\-\+\=]*\>/", "", $userinfo['musername']);
But it seems to work, in case u r wondering, the above preg_replace should strip out ALL HTML.
