retaining HTML string from POST

[ALFsoft]

Hi Guys,

I’m sure I’m missing something very basic here, but I’ve been staring at it for a while now and I can’t seem to solve it.

I’m sending a HTML String (form data) via POST, the header info seems to be OK:

However, when I retrieve the string all HTML tags see to get lost and I end up with plain text…

The code I have is:

// Get the data from the form.

$data    = $input->get('jform', array(), 'post', 'array');
$message  = $data['message'];

Now $message only contains plain text.

How do I retain the HTML string?

Groeten,
Alfred

All array values will be cleaned with the default JFilter::clean(). Default value is 'string' - a fully decoded and sanitised string.

Hi Alfred !

In your XML form definition file you can add the "filter" attribute with the  value "safehtml" (safer) or "raw" (completely unfiltered).

Example :

        <field
            name="message"
            type="textarea"
            filter="raw"
            required="true"
            label="COM_YOUCOMP_FORM_LBL_MESSAGE"
            description=" COM_YOUCOMP_FORM_DEC_ MESSAGE "
            hint=" COM_YOUCOMP_FORM_TOOLTIP_MESSAGE"/>

Also have a look at this question for filters : https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/5764/what-are-possible-filters-in-joomla-form-fields

And this article on retrieving data with JInput : https://docs.joomla.org/Retrieving_request_data_using_JInput

@Yves
The filter in my XML definitief was already on ‘safehtml’ .

@Victor
Thanks for pointing me towards a working solution, I now have working code:

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

$dataArray = $input->getArray(array(
‘Jform’ => array(
‘subject’ = string,
‘Message ‘ = raw
)
));

$data = $dataArray[‘jform’];
$subject = $data[‘subject’];
$message = $data[‘message’];

Now $message contains the correct HTML string.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Alfred
