Laravel Model Removing html attribute - php

Question

Created a simple miniCMS in a portal for content creation. The issue at first was in TinyMCE stripping of id attribute from html tag I've resolved that using valid_elements now the request is being sent to Model as is with no issues however in the Model level it's stripping the id again
Example
<div id="agreement">text ......... </div>
Being Saved in model as
<div>text ......... </div>
The controller code:
public function frontendContent(Request $request, $key)
{
$purifier = new \HTMLPurifier();
$valInputs = $request->except('_token', 'image_input', 'key', 'status', 'type');
foreach ($valInputs as $keyName => $input) {
if (gettype($input) == 'array') {
$inputContentValue[$keyName] = $input;
continue;
}
$inputContentValue[$keyName] = $purifier->purify($input);
}
$type = $request->type;
if (!$type) {
abort(404);
}
$imgJson = #getPageSections()->$key->$type->images;
$validation_rule = [];
$validation_message = [];
foreach ($request->except('_token', 'video') as $input_field => $val) {
if ($input_field == 'has_image' && $imgJson) {
foreach ($imgJson as $imgValKey => $imgJsonVal) {
$validation_rule['image_input.'.$imgValKey] = ['nullable','image','mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,svg'];
$validation_message['image_input.'.$imgValKey.'.image'] = inputTitle($imgValKey).' must be an image';
$validation_message['image_input.'.$imgValKey.'.mimes'] = inputTitle($imgValKey).' file type not supported';
}
continue;
}elseif($input_field == 'seo_image'){
$validation_rule['image_input'] = ['nullable', 'image', new FileTypeValidate(['jpeg', 'jpg', 'png'])];
continue;
}
$validation_rule[$input_field] = 'required';
}
$request->validate($validation_rule, $validation_message, ['image_input' => 'image']);
if ($request->id) {
$content = Frontend::findOrFail($request->id);
} else {
$content = Frontend::where('data_keys', $key . '.' . $request->type)->first();
if (!$content || $request->type == 'element') {
$content = Frontend::create(['data_keys' => $key . '.' . $request->type]);
}
}
if ($type == 'data') {
$inputContentValue['image'] = #$content->data_values->image;
if ($request->hasFile('image_input')) {
try {
$inputContentValue['image'] = uploadImage($request->image_input,imagePath()['seo']['path'], imagePath()['seo']['size'], #$content->data_values->image);
} catch (\Exception $exp) {
$notify[] = ['error', 'Could not upload the Image.'];
return back()->withNotify($notify);
}
}
}else{
if ($imgJson) {
foreach ($imgJson as $imgKey => $imgValue) {
$imgData = #$request->image_input[$imgKey];
if (is_file($imgData)) {
try {
$inputContentValue[$imgKey] = $this->storeImage($imgJson,$type,$key,$imgData,$imgKey,#$content->data_values->$imgKey);
} catch (\Exception $exp) {
$notify[] = ['error', 'Could not upload the Image.'];
return back()->withNotify($notify);
}
} else if (isset($content->data_values->$imgKey)) {
$inputContentValue[$imgKey] = $content->data_values->$imgKey;
}
}
}
}
$content->update(['data_values' => $inputContentValue]);
$notify[] = ['success', 'Content has been updated.'];
return back()->withNotify($notify);
}
When I dd the request
as dd($request) I can see the html tag in full
<div id="agreement">text ......... </div>
But when I dd the content
as dd($content) I can see that the id attribute is stripped
<div>text ......... </div>
The model part
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Frontend extends Model
{
protected $guarded = ['id'];
protected $table = "frontends";
protected $casts = [
'data_values' => 'object'
];
public static function scopeGetContent($data_keys)
{
return Frontend::where('data_keys', $data_keys);
}
}
Kindly asking for help, thank you!

While checking the forum here at SOF I found a solution with a remark from #FarhanIbnWahid thanks to him.
$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault();
$config->set('Attr.EnableID', true);
$purifier = new \HTMLPurifier($config);
This will resolve the issue.
