Active Record Insert not escaping SimpleXML object values

Code:

$data = array(
'name' => $xml->characterInfo->character['name'],
'classId' => $xml->characterInfo->character['classId'],
'raceId' => $xml->characterInfo->character['raceId'],

$xml->characterInfo->character['name'] points to:

Code:

["name"]=>
  object(SimpleXMLElement)#17 (1) {
    [0]=>
    string(8) "Memories"
  }

It is picked up by CI with the correct value ("Memories") but it does not auto escape it. I've had to add $this->db->escape_str around the variables for them to be escaped (which works).

You're sending an object through an array. You can either pass an array or an object to the function that way.

I don't quite understand what you mean, why can't CI escape the values in the insert() function? How can I go about getting to do it in the function and not having to manually escape them?

[eluser]Derek Allard[/eluser]
You could probably typecast them as strings instead of objects. Does

Code:

$data = array(
'name' => (string)$xml->characterInfo->character['name'],

work?

Thanks Derek, that's done it.

Apologies for the mistaken bug report.

[eluser]Derek Allard[/eluser]
Absolutely no need to apologize at all. Thanks for being proactive and involved. See you on the forums.
