Haven't looked at your code yet, but you do know you're posting your config/database.php file into Git right? Even if it's just a test server, it's best to add that to your .gitignore.

Edit: How are you cleaning your input? If you're using CI's native xss_clean, it strips the styles (reference system/core/Security.php) from inputs. If you're using the native solution, you'll need to extended and edit that.
