phppostx-cart

Does x-Cart strips tags from posted data?

I send data from form, where the textarea contains html tags. On PHP side I do not see them, using:

echo "<pre>";
print_r( $_POST );
echo "</pre>";
exit();

I get:

enter image description here

Where have paragraph tags gone?

In source code they are clearly gone:

<pre>Array
(
    [mode] => save_product
    [id] => 1
    [title] => Banana Shake
    [categoryid] => 1
    [serving] => 34.50
    [orderby] => 10
    [intro] => Intro
    [instructions] => Empty contents of packet into a shaker or blender, add 200-240ml of cold water and shake/mix until fully dissolved.
Consume within 10 minutes for full nutritional benefit.
...</pre>

EDIT

I am using x-Cart's engine to manipulate data, could be the x-Cart strips those tags.

Solution

  • The solution was to set trusted variables at beginning of the script this way:

    define('USE_TRUSTED_POST_VARIABLES', 1);
$trusted_post_variables = array('intro', 'instructions');

    That way x-cart won't strip any tags.

    Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.
