Stop The Chtmlpurifier Escaping The < Char

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I’d like to use the CHtmlPurifier to strip html tags. But I don’t want it to escape the “<” character because I later use CHtml::encode() on the text in the view so it would be escaped twice.

This is my unit test:




<?php

class CHtmlPurifierTest extends CTestCase

{

    public function testCHtmlPurifier()

    {

        $p = new CHtmlPurifier();

        $p->options = array(

            'HTML'=>array('Allowed' => '',),             // don't allow any HTML

            'Filter.ExtractStyleBlocks.Escaping'=>false, // Whether or not to escape the dangerous characters <, > and & as \3C, \3E and \26, respectively.


        );


        $this->assertEquals('Do my Job if <£10', $p->purify('Do my Job if <£10'));

    }

}

The test fails because "<" is converted into "&lt;":




1) CHtmlPurifierTest::testCHtmlPurifier

Failed asserting that two strings are equal.

Does anyone know the HTMLPurifier incanation to disable escaping? because


'Filter.ExtractStyleBlocks.Escaping'=>false

obviously doesn’t work
