Re: Column size, user input and htmlspecialchars

Well, first, increase the size of your field, say VARCHAR(100) then in your form, use "maxlength" like this: <input type="text" name="mytext" size="50" maxlength="50" /> That would prevent them from entering more that 50 characters. (At least, that's how it should work.) But, just to make sure, count the characters entered using strlen() or something before you use htmlspecialchars()... - E __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
