filter_xss_bad_protocol

Processes an HTML attribute value and strips dangerous protocols from URLs.

Parameters

$string: The string with the attribute value.

$decode: (deprecated) Whether to decode entities in the $string. Set to FALSE if the $string is in plain text, TRUE otherwise. Defaults to TRUE. This parameter is deprecated and will be removed in Drupal 8. To process a plain-text URI, call drupal_strip_dangerous_protocols() or check_url() instead.

Return value

Cleaned up and HTML-escaped version of $string.
