I have a problem with a user input in a form required to be an
integer, creating a variable for a mysql query.
I have instances where integer, 0, is being typed as letter,o.
The last discussion of validating the input was
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db&m=97207172003983&w=2
There it was suggested that the only way to validate the input was
using javascript. I have a case where clients have disabled
javascript.
I tried fiddling with is_int($input) but of cause it does not serve
this purpose.
Does anybody know if such validation can be done server side or
definitely must be done client side?
