+--- Thread: POST filters "poker" (/showthread.php?tid=66215)
POST filters "poker" - poldings - 09-21-2016
I have a simple form setup that allows visitors to submit text which is then scanned for key words ...
http://word-inspector.poldings.com
If I enter the word "poker" in a sentence or just by itself, the POST filtering removes all content for that field.
If I enter the word "piker" or "pokes", it's accepted fine.
Basically, var_dump($_POST) shows empty if I enter the word "poker".
This is built using CI v3.0.1.
There must me a third-party filter or regex installed that is picking up spammy words like "poker" ... but I can't find it.
Anyone else have this problem?

This could also be outside of CI. A hosting company could have installed some filter to do that. Are you running this on a loacl machine that you control? Or on a hosting?
If on a hosting try installing it locally to see if ths is the same.

Interesting.
It is remotely hosted with Clook. I will check with them.
Thanks for the pointer.

It turns out the host did have a set of filters in place for certain word types and that's what prevented the form being processed.
Thanks for your help.
