Sanitize model data easily

Someone on #cakephp had an issue with PHP timing out. Normally, I’d say it was just bad coding, but it’s probably just a bad practice on their part. The issue they had is with HTML Purifier. I built this behavior to make sanitizing data a bit simpler.

• CakePHP 2.x
• PHP 5.3

[Using Composer]

Add the plugin to your project's composer.json - something like this:

	{
		"require": {
			"josegonzalez/cakephp-purifiable": "dev-master"
		}
	}

Because this plugin has the type cakephp-plugin set in its own composer.json, Composer will install it inside your /Plugins directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add /Plugins/Purifiable to your .gitignore file. (Why? read this.)

[Manual]

• Download this: http://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-purifiable/zipball/master
• Unzip that download.
• Copy the resulting folder to app/Plugin
• Rename the folder you just copied to Purifiable

[GIT Submodule]

In your app directory type:

	git submodule add -b master git://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-purifiable.git Plugin/Purifiable
	git submodule init
	git submodule update

[GIT Clone]

In your Plugin directory type:

	git clone -b master git://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-purifiable.git Purifiable

In 2.0 you need to enable the plugin in your app/Config/bootstrap.php file:

	CakePlugin::load('Purifiable');

If you are already using CakePlugin::loadAll();, then this is not necessary.
