How do I use esc() in html form input AND get readable text? - objecttothis - 03-25-2024
Problem:
This code
PHP Code:
<?php $sample_text = 'The quick brown fox!';
<?= form_input ([
'name' => 'sample_text',
'id' => 'sample_text',
'class' => 'form-control input-sm',
'value' => esc($sample_text, 'attr')
]) ?>Yields a textbox with the value "The quick brown fox!"
How can I escape output but still produce readable text in the form? I want "The quick brown fox!" and simple sentences to be plaintext but everything else to be escaped.
Is 'attr' the correct context to use here?

The value of "value" is automatically escaped by form_input().
PHP Code:
'value' => $sample_text

PHP Code:'value' => $sample_text
Thank you. I missed that in the documentation
