strip image tags issue - El Forum - 07-29-2008

Hey everyone!
I'm having this weird problem. I'm using xss_clean on my forms, but somehow image tags are not being filtered...I took a look at the Validation and Input classes and they seem to be doing that (or attempting at least)...
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

It doesn't strip image tags, it looks for malicious code inside the tag. If you don't want users posting images, you will need to strip the tags manually.

Ah, thanks!
Still, in the user guide there's a prepping function called strip_image_tags which should do what I want, but doesn't seem to exist?

My installation definitely has that. It's in the security helper (system/helpers/security_helper.php) starting on line 90.
