Using the form class to create an input field, i.e. Form::Input(), ampersands (&'s) are converted to & amp; Does anyone know of a way to get around this or is there a reason that ampersands are used? Say I'm entering information in the database is there not a way to see it how i entered it? Does what I said even make sense? I'm pretty bloody tired! PS the function that transforms values for an input is in Fuel\Core\Form::prep_value(); Having wrote this far I thought i'd throw in a screenshot for you: before saving to DB:

In the documentation for Views look up '$auto_encode' when set to false it won't filter with htmlentries.

I've turned the encoding off altogether in my views however this is unrelated to that. The value you give to the form input is manipulated in the form class I was wondering if anyone has a workaround aside from not using the form class?

[EDITed: I changed this just now in the dev branch to work better] Use a form.php config file or set this after you've loaded the form class but before rendering the form:

Config::set('form.prep_value', false);

And it shouldn't be encoded anymore.
