[Help] Text Entrys Block

[JayC]

I get better help on here so does anyone know how I can make it so that when people fill in a form they can't use characters that will cause an error? like these:

' " . / \ ] [ ) ( ; : `

This is my code for the text box:

        <span title="Name">Bot name: </span><br />
        <input type="text" name="name" /><br /><br />

either use javascript to replace the characters automatically or (since you are most likely using php to handle the form) use preg_replace() to remove those characters. even better would be to use prepared statements

every time a user inputs something use CTRL + F and type the characters you don't want and if you find any remove them

Is there an option for "Bad Answer"?
