If we compare the low security level source code to the high security level one we found that the high security level source code has some extra input sanitisation. Both the $ name and $ message variables are passed through the html special chars () PHP function. The html special chars()function converts special characters to HTML entities, therefore the user input is HTML encoded meaning that it is just displayed as normal HTML rather than being executed.
