Question about form_validation prepped data - El Forum - 10-02-2009
[eluser]0plus1[/eluser]
I have an ajax request that points to this method inside the controller:
Code:
function edit_description(){
//
$uid = $this->authorizer->isLogged();
//Validation
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('id', 'ID', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('value', 'Value', 'required|xss_clean|strip_tags|prep_url');
//
$id = $this->input->post('id');
$string = $this->input->post('value');
//
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
die('Direct access not allowed');
} else {
//$this->majax->edtDescription($uid,$id,$string);
echo $string;
}
}How come that the strip_tags gets completely ignored? Do I have to access the new data in another fashion other than input->post?
p.s. majax is the Model that edits the data.

The validation rules don't actually change the input data.
