You need to use htmlspecialchars($comment) to get that.

Show me the code you have for echoing your comment and I’ll show you how to update it.

Future reference, here is the manual page http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM inbox INNER JOIN members on inbox.frm=members.login WHERE (frm='$passkey'and tooo='$frm') or (frm='$frm' and tooo='$passkey') ORDER BY id DESC");



while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<img class="pp" src="'.'../account/'.$row["pp"].'" alt="s" height="30" width="30">';
echo "<div id='imgmsg' class='bar'><a href='"."../".$row["frm"]."'/>"."<strong>".$row["f_name"]." ".$row[ "last_nme"]."</a>"."</br>"."</strong>"."<pre>".($row["message"])."</pre>"."</div>";

}
