Hey,

I saw that the new Version of Codeigniter includes some CSRF protection in the form class but I could not find any further information about it.

Does it include a random token hidden field which is checked?

Thanks

Thanks, but I was not asking for how it works but what exactly it does

I just wanted to say. Take 2 mins and try it, you'll see that it actually creates hidden input with random value. As session riding protection is more or less everywhere.

Okay - thanks anyway - that's what I was looking for since I always had to implement that into the forms myself before when using 1.7
