Re^2: Best way to use escapeHTML

Even this way?

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard escapeHTML);

my $q = new CGI;
my $test = "What's the big''s deal?!!?? - <script>TEST</script>";
 my $comments = $q->escapeHTML( $test ) || '';

print header();
print "test: $comments";

Yes, that's what it's for, although your naming really sucks, and you're using `\|\| ''` against the wrong thing. `my $comment = $cgi->param('comment') \|\| ''; # or whatever ... my $comment_html = $cgi->escapeHTML($comment); print header(); print "<p>Comments: $comment_html\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
