Re: [fw-general] Zend_Filter_StripTags strips attributes even when told not to

[J DeBord]

Could magic_quotes_gpc affect the StripTags filter in relation to the
allowed attributes?

I do not have access to the server so I attempted to turn off magic-quotes
in a php.ini file placed in my root directory, but doing this causes the
following exception:

*Message:* The PDO extension is required for this adapter but the extension
is not loaded

Without magic_quotes_gpc = Off in the php.ini The above exception does not
occur. I'm on a shared host.

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Filter_StripTags strips attributes even when told not to

[J DeBord]

Thanks again Matthew. I just downloaded ZF from the trunk and I am 99% sure
it is the only copy on the include path.

>From my bootstrap:

define('LIBRARY_PATH', APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library');

define('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT', 'development');

set_include_path(LIBRARY_PATH);

In fact the library folder is the only thing on the include path.

phpinfo() after setting the include path in the bootstrap:

include_path/home/jasondeb/workspace/JDnetZend/application/../library
.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear
I deleted the copy that was in /usr/share/php just to be sure. Still not
working. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Jason

There was a problem with attribute stripping identified and fixed in the
1.7 series, and what you're showing looks similar to that case -- but,
as noted, the same code you have below is working for me (I just retried
with your exact code, as well).

I'm wondering if there is an older version of ZF on your include_path...

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Filter_StripTags strips attributes even when told not to

[J DeBord]

To add:

public function postnewAction() {

$request = $this->getRequest();

if(!$request->isPost()) {
$this->_helper->redirector('notauthorized', 'error');
}

$form = $this->_getNewMessageForm();

if (!$form->isValid($request->getPost())) {
$this->view->newMessageForm = $form;
return $this->render('index');
}

$values = $form->getValues(); Zend_Debug::dump($values); exit;

Outputs:

array(1) {
  ["message"] => string(27) "This is linked text."

}

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Filter_StripTags strips attributes even when told not to

[J DeBord]

Thanks for the reply Matthew.

I'm using 1.84

Still not working. After executing the code below (see form and controller
code) and putting this into the textarea:


   This is http://foo.com/";
   title="Foo!">linked text.
   

The following is entered into the MySql DB:

 [image: 
Edit]

49 2009-07-15 07:54:32 1 This is linked text.
Everything but the  tag is stripped as expected, but the href is still
being stripped. Could it have something to do with the Zend_Db_Table's
insert method?

FORM:

setMethod('post');

$this->setAttrib('id', 'new_message');
$this->setDescription("What are you doing? What's new?");

$textarea = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('message', array(
'id' => 'message',
'filters' => array(
array('StripTags', array(array('a'), array('href',
'title'))),
'StringTrim',
),
'validators' => array(),
'rows' => 2,
'cols' => 40,
));

$this->addElement($textarea);

$this->addElement('Submit', 'submit', array(
'Decorators' => array('ViewHelper'),
'class' => 'submit',
'Label' => 'Post Your Message!',
'Ignore' => true,
));

$this->setDecorators(array(
'Description',
'FormElements',
'Fieldset',
'Form'
));

}
}

CONTROLLER (postnewAction is the relevant piece):

public function indexAction() {

$this->view->headTitle('Message Board');

$this->view->newMessageForm = $this->_getNewMessageForm();

}

public function postnewAction() {

$request = $this->getRequest();

if(!$request->isPost()) {
$this->_helper->redirector('notauthorized', 'error');
}

$form = $this->_getNewMessageForm();

if (!$form->isValid($request->getPost())) {
$this->view->newMessageForm = $form;
return $this->render('index');
}

$values = $form->getValues();
$values['user_id'] = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity()->id;
$model = new Model_DbTable_Messages;
$result = $model->insert($values);

if(!$result) {
throw new Zend_Exception('Problem adding message to database');
}

$this->_helper->redirector('index', 'messageboard');

}

protected function _getNewMessageForm() {

$form = new Form_NewMessage;
$form->setAction('/messageboard/postnew/');

return $form;
}


Again, I really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

What version of ZF are you using?

I did the following using current trunk:

$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('foo', array(
'filters' => array(
array('StripTags', array(array('a'), array('href', 'title'))),
'StringTrim',
),
'value'   => '
This is http://foo.com/"; 
title="Foo!">linked text.
',
));
echo $element->getValue();

and got exactly what I expected:

This is http://foo.com/"; title="Foo!">linked text.

[fw-general] Zend_Filter_StripTags strips attributes even when told not to

[J DeBord]

I've tried to make StripTags leave the href attribute, but it strips it out.
I can't find the right syntax or it just doesn't work. The  tag is left
intact, every other tag is stripped, but the href and title get stripped as
well.

I've also used the fluid interface when adding the Textarea, but changed it
to what is below in hopes that it would work.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
J

setMethod('post');

$this->setAttrib('id', 'new_message');

$textarea = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('message');
$textarea->setDecorators($this->_defaultDecorators);

$stripTags = new Zend_Filter_StripTags(array('a'), array('href',
'title'));

$textarea->addFilter('StringTrim');
$textarea->addFilter($stripTags);
$textarea->setValidators(array());
$textarea->setRequired(true);
$textarea->setAttrib('cols', 40);
$textarea->setAttrib('rows', 2);

$this->addElement($textarea);

$this->addElement('Submit', 'submit', array(
'Decorators' => array('ViewHelper'),
'class' => 'submit',
'Label' => 'Post Your Message!',
'Ignore' => true,
));

$this->setDecorators(array(
'Description',
'FormElements',
'Fieldset',
'Form'
));

}
}
