I seriously doubt this is true - I've never seen this behaviour. Sure, if you're sanitizing the input then they might get escaped [depending on your sanitize method], but unless you tell it to, this won't happen automatically. Perhaps you're confusing what is actually stored in the database and how it's displayed in HTML? For example, if the real in-the-database value of a field is 'I <3 cake' and you generate a form, the html will look like this: <input type="text" [...] value="I <3 cake" [...] /> This is perfectly normal. The escaping is on the display end, not the real data. In the textbox itself you'll see the "<" sign. If you really think there's a problem, paste the exact code you are using and the generated SQL from the log. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
