[Solved] Any thing better than CSRF

I use my own tokens library, as it's like CI's CSRF functionality, but it allows for an array of tokens, and prevents some of the frustration involved with CI's CSRF. It's part of Community Auth, so you can see it there if you like.

Yea I think using your own good. Just have always had issues with CI CSRF and form validation mixed together on controller side not ajax. don't think will bother using codeigniter CSRF.

Not many tutorials on how to properly set up CSRF with form validation and submitting on controller and not ajax

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
