How can hyperlinks be prevented in a contact form on a WordPress site using PHP?

Hyperlinks can be prevented in a contact form on a WordPress site by using PHP to sanitize the input data and strip any HTML tags from the form fields before processing them. This can help prevent any malicious code or unwanted hyperlinks from being submitted through the form. 

// Sanitize form input to prevent hyperlinks
function sanitize_form_data($data) {
    $data = strip_tags($data);
    return $data;
}

// Process form submission
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $name = sanitize_form_data($_POST["name"]);
    $email = sanitize_form_data($_POST["email"]);
    $message = sanitize_form_data($_POST["message"]);

    // Process the sanitized form data here
}
