Can I configure codeigniter to avoid all htmlentities?

Question

I have a huge codeigniter app, with lots of forms and fields. I need to avoid users to enter HTML code in any input. I know I can escape it which funcionts like strip_tags or escape it using htmlentites .

But I wonder if there is any way to do it globally, that remove or escapes the html code inserted in any of the inputs of the whole aplication.

Answer 1

I've modifiyed the function that retrieve results, filtering the html open and close tag. that is something like I want. to deny show html or javascript saved in the database.

public function array_htmlentities(&$row){
        //return $row;
        foreach($row as &$value){
            if( is_array($value) || is_array($value) ){
                $value = $this->array_htmlentities($value);
            }elseif(is_string($value)){
                $json = json_decode($value);
                if( is_array($json) || is_array($json) ){
                    $value = json_encode($this->array_htmlentities($json));
                }else
                    $value = str_replace(array('<','>'), array('&lt;','&gt;'), $value);
                //$value = $value;
            }else
                $value = $value;
        }

        return $row;
    }
