Handling XML through input->post - El Forum - 03-30-2010 [eluser]msteudel[/eluser] So I'm receiving some xml via http POST like so: $xml = $this->input->post('request'); Obviously CI protects against XSS, but in this case I actually want the various entities intact, e.g. converting < to &lt; So is there a proper way to indicate this? I tried doing $xml = $this->input->post( 'request', false ); But that didn't work. I can of course do something like: $xml = html_entities_decode( $this->input->post( 'request' ) ); TIA, Mark
