Hello,

I am doing an upgrade from 1.7.x to 2.x.

And I have some code that is pointing to the xss_clean method in Input Class.

Here is the code: $this->input->xss_clean($cleanthis);

And I am retrieving this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Input::xss_clean() in ...

I also can’t seem to find where the Input class might have been loaded in the previous version, and I tried to do a manual load above the code: $this->load->library(‘input’). But I still get the same error.

Anyone got any ideas?

They moved the function.

$login = $this->security->xss_clean($login)

Okay, very interesting.

We also found out we can do this - $this->input->post(‘postitem’, TRUE);

See URL: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/input.html

Which way is better? Do they both do the same thing?

Thank you.

It depends on how the value is obtained (POST, database, text file,..).
They do the same thing.

post.
