Validating foreign languages using form validation |
[eluser]capypara[/eluser]
Hi all. I have these for my rules in form_validation.php trim|required|max_length[30]|xss_clean|alpha_dash I do not want the users to enter any potentially harmful characters so i set the alpha_dash rule. However, all non-English characters ended up being regarded as harmful characters as well. How can i allow the user to enter any non-English character and still prevent stuff like /*-%&#" from being entered?

When using a framework, often people forget that it is built upon an underlying language: if you do not find what you need inside CI then look into PHP itself: PHP: Sanitize filters - Manual http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.sanitize.php Cheers Roberto |
