Purifier for Kohana
===================

[](#purifier-for-kohana)

Overloads [Security::xss\_clean](http://kohanaframework.org/guide/api/Security#xss_clean) to provide secure XSS filtering using [HTML Purifier](http://htmlpurifier.org/).

Installing Purifier
===================

[](#installing-purifier)

### Using Git

[](#using-git)

If your application is in a Git repository, you can simply add this repository as a submodule:

```
git submodule add git://github.com/shadowhand/purifier.git modules/purifier
git submodule update --init --recursive

```

If you want to use a specific version, you can check out the tag of that version:

```
cd modules/purifier
git checkout v0.1.0
cd -
git add modules/purifier

```

Always remember to commit changes you make to submodules!

```
git commit -m 'Added Purifier module'

```

To install HTML Purifier, you will need to go into the purifier module directory and download it:

```
cd modules/purifier
git submodule update --init --recursive

```

*HTML Purifier is enabled as submodule of the Purifier module. Submodules of submodules are only automatically initialized if you use the --recursive flag*

### FTP or Plain Files

[](#ftp-or-plain-files)

For an untracked repository, you can [download](http://github.com/shadowhand/purifier/archives/master) the repository and install it to `MODPATH/purifier`. To download a specific version, select the tag on Github before clicking the download link.

You will also need to [download HTML Purifier](http://htmlpurifier.org/download) and install the entire "htmlpurifier" directory to `MODPATH/purifier/vendor/htmlpurifier`.

After Installation
------------------

[](#after-installation)

After HTML Purifier is installed, you will need to make the `library/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer` in `MODPATH/purifier/vendor/htmlpurifier` writable by the web server.

Using Purifier
==============

[](#using-purifier)

To use Purifier, just call [Security::xss\_clean](http://kohanaframework.org/guide/api/Security#xss_clean) as you normally would. HTML Purifier will be used instead of the default "Bitflux" filter.

Advanced Usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

If you want to access HTMLPurifier directly:

```
$html = Security::htmlpurifier();

```

You can configure the [HTMLPurifier settings](http://htmlpurifier.org/live/configdoc/plain.html) by creating `APPPATH/config/purifier.php`:

```
return array(
    'settings' => array(
        ... => ...
    ),
);

```
