Making HTML Purifier Work With CodeIgniter

December 30th, 2008

There’s a post here about getting it to work, but it’s old. Since then, the include statements for HTML Purifier were moved to their own file. In a normal script you would include the HTMLPurifier.includes.php file, but this isn’t in line with how CodeIgniter loads libraries, so it requires some hacking to get working.

  1. Download HTML Purifier and put the contents of the library folder into your codeigniter /system/application/libraries folder.
  2. Open HTMLPurifier.includes.php and change 
    require 'HTMLPurifier.php';

    to

    //require 'HTMLPurifier.php';
  3. Open HTMLPurifier.php and add this just under <?php 
    require_once('HTMLPurifier.includes.php');

And that’s all! Load with

$this->load->library('HTMLPurifier');
