Hi everybody.
I just received a bug report on the bug tracking system of my css.module . http://drupal.org/node/40340
As wrote there function valid_input_data has been removed from 4.6.4 .
Why does it been removed? What can we use for input checking? filter_xss?
I think that this change (and others) should be documented on the handbooks.
I agree and I already mailed the list yesterday on this. You can't really do input checking now, valid_input_data was broken beyond repair. We are filtering on output (this was so since long), use check_plain , check_url and check_output as appropriate. check_output when you have a filter format, check_url when you want to display a url and check_plain otherwise if you output your own content.
