session destroyed by anchor!

Hello,

My first time, but I am not shy.

Straight to my issue, I have a session (CI session with DB) that holds data from a multi-page form.

All is well unless I put an <a href="somesite.com">Link</a> into the session. (Part of the form is to allow text and links).

If I have a peek at the session immediately after writing the link to it, I see it but at the next page, when more data is added all of the previous stuff I put in there has gone and only the new stuff is visible.

I have tried addslashes, htmlentities, htmlspecialchrs and all that good cleaning PHP stuff but I get the same result every time. If I enter just plain text into the form I get right through the process without a grumble.

I have searched the forums for any info but can't seem to find anything relating to this and its friday, I need stress free beer later so I want to get this sorted and get to the pub. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers
