I'm using the htmlspecialchars() function to prevent XSS attacks but I'm not sure if that is the correct way to prevent such attacks:

htmlspecialchars($input_value);

If not, what is the best/simplest way to do it?

Correct way is this :- echo htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); – Davinder Kumar Apr 26 '17 at 04:26
