RE: [PHP] Problem with postfield elements

Hi Justin , Thankyou. They made this change in php 4.2.1 only?? But I never faced this problem previously with php3, php 4.0.1. Is it like that?

In short, if you know WHERE the var is coming from (eg POST), things should be more secure. (eg, if I can do something like foo.php?is_user=yes on your URL, it might have bad consequences, but if you ONLY trust a $_COOKIE['is_user'], then the script is already more secure. 2. at the top of the script, you can put in $emp_id = $_POST['emp_id']; Regards, Justin French
