Re: Simple question

Hi Lab, I normally use code of the following format, which I think is quite neat: //Note that you do not need curely brackets in an "if" statement is there is only one line if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') $add = $HTTP_POST_VARS['textbox']; if ($add == 'Hello') do something //It is however recommended that you do the following in order to ensure that a user does not try to use malicious code in their input if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') $add = clean($HTTP_POST_VARS['textbox'], 20);; if ($add == 'Hello') do something where clean() is a function defined in an include as follows: function clean($input, $maxlength) { $input = substr($input, 0, $maxlength); $input = EscapeShellCmd($input); return ($input); } Hope that helps.
