FuelPhp Decode HTML Entities in the view - php

Question

Right now I am displaying HTML in my view by using html_entity_decode:
<strong>Body:</strong>
<?php echo html_entity_decode($post->body); ?></p>
But is there another way to do in when I am passing data to my view, in:
public function action_view($id = null)
{
$data['post'] = Model_Post::find($id);
is_null($id) and Response::redirect('Post');
$this->template->title = "Post";
$this->template->content = View::forge('post/view', $data);
}
I read the documentation and tried:
public function action_view($id = null)
{
$data['post'] = Model_Post::find($id);
is_null($id) and Response::redirect('Post');
$this->template->title = "Post";
$this->template->content = View::forge('post/view', $data);
View::$auto_encode = false;
}
But this just gave me an "access to undeclared static property". Clearly I am doing something wrong...

Answer 1

As I can see you are not setting auto_encode correctly.
Try this and see if it's what you are looking for.
public function action_view($id = null)
{
$view = View::forge('post/view');
is_null($id) and Response::redirect('Post');
$post = Model_Post::find($id);
$view->set('post', $post, false); //Here the auto_encode is set to false
$this->template->title = "Post";
$this->template->content = $view;
}
Hope this helps

There are abunch of ways to do this:
protected $this->auto_encode = false;
That property in the controller will stop ALL assigned values from being encoded.
Otherwise, use this:
$this->template->set('title', "Post", false);
$this->template->set('content', $view, false);
That'll stop the specific value being encoded.
