<!-- line 13 -->
<input id="name" name="name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($listing_name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?>"
<!-- line21 -->
<input id="link" name="link" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($listing_link, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?>">
<!-- line29 -->
<textarea id="description" name="description"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($listing_description, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?>

Courses Plus Student 16,618 PointsHi, Use htmlspecialchars() with the args , ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'. I suggest the following;
<!-- line 13 --> <input id="name" name="name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($listing_name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?>">
<!-- line21 --> <input id="link" name="link" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($listing_link, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?>">
<!-- line29 --> <textarea id="description" name="description"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($listing_description, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?> </textarea>
