$input = $_POST['user_input']; $filtered_input = JComponentHelper::filterText($input); // Now you can safely use $filtered_input
$raw_data = "Here is some dangerous code"; $filtered_data = JComponentHelper::filterText($raw_data); // Store $filtered_data in the databaseIn this example, $raw_data is some input that an extension wants to store in a database, but it may contain insecure script tags or other content. That's why it's important to pass it through filterText first.
