I want CI Active Record to NOT escape certain html tags (e.g. iframe)

[eluser]mmatti[/eluser]
When I'm trying to update database with some content that contains for instance <iframe> tag it escapes it- turning:

Code:

<object width="320" height="240" data="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H8v-qZFVYnc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H8v-qZFVYnc" /></object>

into:

Code:

& lt;object width="320" height="240" data="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H8v-qZFVYnc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"& gt;& lt;param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H8v-qZFVYnc" /& gt;& lt;/object& gt;

(added some spaces)

Is there any way around it?

In fact, thats safer rather than save the html tag in its actual tag!

[eluser]mmatti[/eluser]
so what should I do make it work and safe at the same time?

Let the recent format runs. You can always revert that encoded html tag into the actual html tag by using

Code:

html_entity_decode($your_encoded_html);

Many thanks.
