+Allows you to safely use HTML and characters such as quotes within form
+elements without breaking out of the form. Consider this example
+::
+
+ $string = 'Here is a string containing "quoted" text.';
+ <input type="text" name="myform" value="$string" />

+Since the above string contains a set of quotes it will cause the form

+safely::
+
+ <input type="text" name="myform" value="<?php echo form_prep($string); ?>" />
+
+.. note:: If you use any of the form helper functions listed in this page the form
+ values will be prepped automatically, so there is no need to call this
+ function. Use it only if you are creating your own form elements.
