The answer to sanitise the variable before it gets inserted into the database should be:

$myFormData = escape_tags($myFormData);
insertIntoDatabase($myFormData)

You only need to replace the first line with the escape_tags variable and replace $message to $myFormData.
Hope this helps!

P.S. I have already posted the answer three weeks ago on this forum and it's on #13 on this page.

For anyone who is stuck on this one.
This is the original code:
$message = $_POST['message'];
insertIntoDatabase($message);

You need to change it to:
$message = escape_tags($message);
insertIntoDatabase($message);

I realised I did everything but the square brackets have been the thing that has caused me to be stuck on this one for a while. So you need to change it to these brackets (). Its worked for me, let me know if it has worked for anyone of you guys!

Drop here!
