Problem with POST values

[eluser]dandys997[/eluser]
Hi,
I've got a problem with fetching POST variables' values using CodeIgniter Input Class.

I need to send a full link to a photo data via one of form fields.

But when I use $this->input->post("field_name"), I get:

Code:

<span class="photos"><a href="../photos/panda3.jpg"><img src="../photos/panda3_thumb.jpg" /></a></span>

What should I do to avoid this behaviour of CodeIgniter? I've tried: $this->input->post("field_name", false), but unsuccessfull.

Thanks in advance for help!

Have you tried adding

Code:

<?php echo base_url();?>

(do not forget to load the url module before.

It's impossible in this case. The field will be used to send many kind of data (both absolute and relative links to resources).

would you mind posting your form html code? and also, can you elaborate a little more on what you're trying to accomplish? thanks

I think it could be a bug of CodeIgniter. I reviewed HTTP headers sent by a browser and there's a full text sending to a controller. Problem appears at input class. Maybe it's a XSS filter? But I don't know, how to disable it.

Form HTML code is:

<form action="http://localhost:8080/domweselny/panel/add" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tytuł:</td><td>&lt;input type="text" name="title" value=""  /&gt;&lt;/td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Treść:</td><td>&lt;textarea name="content" cols="90" rows="12" id="input"&gt;&lt;/textarea></td></tr>

<tr>
<td>Załącznik:</td><td>&lt;input type="file" name="userfile" value=""  /&gt;&lt;/td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Dodaj"  /&gt;&lt;input type="reset" name="reset" value="Wyczyść"  />&lt;/form&gt;

By a field named "content" user sends a content (including absolute link to this server's resources), it's binded with a CLEditor jQuery script.

How can I POST textarea with HTML content ?
Sometimes I need to use "&lt;iframe&gt;, "embed", etc .. but "<" are converted to entities ....
HOW can I disable this function in this especific field?

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
just run html_entity_decode() on it.
$content = html_entity_decode($this->input->post('content'));

I found the problem ....
the active record BD escape many html tags, remove some.. and some "<" are converted to entities.

How can I allow specific tags ?
