CodeIgniter : form input set_value cause " to become & quot
Problem :
A string retrieved from database contains "
and when you try to display the string with Form Helper's set_value()
function. The "
becomes "
How to fix this problem?
Solution :
By default the set_value()
function will escape the value. (see http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/helpers/formhelper.html#setvalue) and this will cause "
to become "
Therefore, to fix this problem, turn off the HTML escaping by setting false
in the 3rd parameter of the set_value()
function.
From
set_value('sometitle', $sometitle);
to
set_value('sometitle', $sometitle, false);
This should prevent the "
to become "
now after disabling the default HTML escaping.
