make pw variables available in custom script

[helmut2509]

I have a custom script in which I want to validate the contents of input fields.

however it seems, that $sanitizer and $input are not available there, I get this error message:

"Trying to get property of non-object".

So how can I make those variables available in my custom script?

I tried this:

 $sanitizer = wire('sanitizer');

 $input = wire('input');

But at using $input I get the error message:

Trying to get property of non-object

...and at using $sanitizer I get :

..Call to a member function text() on a non-object

"Custom Script" - does that mean your code is not in a PW template or module file?

Have you bootstrapped in PW so you can access its API?

Can you post your code?

Can you post your code? 

in the meantime I found out:

 $sanitizedInput = wire('sanitizer')->text(wire('input')->post->$fld);

...works, but

$input = wire('input');
$sanitizer = wire('sanitizer');
.......

$sanitizer->text($input->post->name);

...does not work

Again, we need to know the context of the code. Is that second code inside a function and the variables set outside of it?

In alternative, you can study a bit http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
