How to configure

To configure phpInputValidator you need to pass an array of configuration values to the constructor when creating a new instance of the class. Here is an example:

Configuration options

add_slashes_function (string)

A function to run to add slashes to data. By default the php function addslashes is run to add slashes to a string.

However it is generally better to run a DB specific function for adding slashes. A couple of examples of better functions to use might be mysqli_real_escape_string or mysql_real_escape_string. Which you can use by using this configuration option.

Example

append_unset (array)

Allows to append global variables to not unset if the unset global function is run

Example

date_format (string)

This is the formatting you wish to apply to the date and time on logged events. The string needs to follow the php date function formatting. An example: 'D, d M Y H:i'

Example

error_log (string)

This is the name you wish to give the error log

Example

html_purifier_config (array of strings)
