note 114045 added to function.intval

I have found intval very useful for database security. If you are passing a value via - Data from user input - Data that you have stored RAW on DB (witch is the best way) and you are using on a new sql statment - Data from unknown/other origin and the data is supposed to be an integer, I always run it through intval before I put it into the query (or you could use real_escape_string) This prevents hackers from passing the variable as an SQL statement instead of a number in order to attack your database. ---- Server IP: 87.117.229.81 Probable Submitter: 92.26.83.112 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.intval.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114045 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114045 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114045 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
