Just ran across this problem and this question popped up on Google, so thought I'd update it for people who come across it later.
CodeIgniter's Cart only accepts alpha-numeric, dashes, colons and periods by default, you'll need to change it to accept apostrophes or any other character you need it to.
We'll be "extending" the CI_Cart, so we'll need to create a file in: application/libraries/MY_Cart.php
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class My_Cart extends CI_Cart {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
// Update rules to accept ' and &
$this->product_name_rules = "\.\:\-_ a-z0-9\'&";
} // end __construct
}
after you do that, you'll be good to insert any amount of alpha, numerical, dash, colon, periods, apostrophes and ampersands as you want.
