Jinput is filtering the formatted text from text area...

[fornandakishore]

Hello Guys,

 I have a problem with JInput ... its working fine with J3+ version but it not working properly in J2.5 versions.

I have a textarea where I can format my text and will submit data to store that formatted text.

$jInput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;

$data ['mess'] = $jInput->get( 'mess', '', 'RAW' ); 

This is working fine in J3+ but the above and below one;s are not working under J2.5

$data ['mess'] = JRequest::getVar( 'mess', '', 'post', 'string', 'JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW' );

$data ['mess'] = JRequest::getVar( 'mess', '', 'post', 'string', 'JREQUEST_ALLOWHTML' );

only this is working in J2.5

$data['mess'] = $_POST[ 'mess'];

what is the correct way to retrieve the formatted text from text area ?

Thanks in Advance..

JInput was missing the ability to do a RAW filter in 2.5 for reasons I can't remember currently.

Also, in your JRequest calls, the JREQUEST constants shouldn't have quotes around them.  That may be affecting your outcome.

Hi Michel,

Thanks for your reply, I have already tried with quotes and also without quotes but there is no changes while retrieving the data. Any alternative ways and I am still searing for the solution.
