JSON and XSS_clean method - El Forum - 05-20-2010
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello
I receive in a POST request a JSON encoded string.
My question is simple: Can I use xss_clean() on the encoded JSON string? or do I first have to decode it and execute the xss_clean() on each field in my object?
Can the method xss_clean() "break" a well-formed JSON encoded string?
Thank you,
