Truncated text in ad description with special character

[Wulf]

One of the ads on my sites had this text in the Ad Description field and it truncated all text after "genuine, ". Appearantly, it didn't like the "<" character.

The exhaust (genuine, <3yo) has a straight section in place of the centre box

Do you have an example? I am not aware of anything that would have a problem with <

I created a test ad here: saabworld.net/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=21

It only truncates when there is no space in between < and the next word.

This is the text entered and stored in the database:

This is a test advertisement in the classifieds

This is a test advertisement < in the classifieds

This is a test advertisement <in the classifieds

Displays:

This is a test advertisement in the classifieds

This is a test advertisement < in the classifieds

This is a test advertisement

I will look into it. It only happens when there is no space so maybe it thinks its an html tag and the php function strip_tags strips it. That is where I am at this moment. Off to do some testing.
