Answer 1

My case was that I wanted global_xss_filtering to be on by default but sometimes I needed the $_POST (pst you can do this to any global php array e.g. $_GET...) data to be raw as send from the browser, so my solution was to:

1. open index.php in root folder of the project
2. added the following line of code $unsanitized_post = $_POST; after $application_folder = 'application'; (line #92)

3. then whenever I needed the raw $_POST I would do the following:

   global $unsanitized_post;

   print_r($unsanitized_post);
