Note Submitter: cameronNO_SPAM@tripdubdev.com ---- Here's a useful bit of code I created (can be used for ANY of the different types of variables GET, POST, COOKIES, etc...) It's basically a filter that will allow you to pre-filter ALL variables before using them in your code, reducing risks of security holes at the application level. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. <? $alphabet="\r\n abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890<>=/._"; $post=$_POST; $get=$_GET; $postcount=count($post) -1; $getcount=count($get) -1; $getkeys=array_keys($get); $postkeys=array_keys($post); while($getcount>0) { $key=$getkeys[$getcount]; $variable=$get[$key]; $variable=$variable1=trim(strtolower($variable)); $vnum=0; while($variable2=$variable1[$vnum]) { if(!strstr($alphabet,$variable2) || $variable2=="\"") { $variable=str_replace($variable2,'',$variable); } $vnum=$vnum+1; } $_GET[$key]=$variable; $getcount=$getcount-1; } while($postcount>0) { $key=$postkeys[$postcount]; $variable=$post[$key]; $variable=$variable1=trim(strtolower($variable)); $vnum=0; while($variable2=$variable1[$vnum]) { if(!strstr($alphabet,$variable2) || $variable2=="\"") { $variable=str_replace("$variable2","",$variable); } $vnum=$vnum+1; } $_POST[$key]=$variable; $postcount=$postcount-1; } ?>
