Note Submitter: r dot haeder at will-hier-weg dot de ---- There is also a good way to secure your script against SQL injections. I found this one in the "Linux-Magazin" which is a well-known magazine for european penguins. <?php // // SQL string escaping function // // $qstring - The final SQL query string which is ready-to-go for the // sprintf command // $data_array - Simple indexed array which contains the data we // want to insert into the SQL string // // Returns: Result of mysql_query() command // function SQL_QUERY_ESC($qstring, $data_array) { // $link shall be a valid link resource like you can get by: // $link = @mysql_connect($host, $user, $password); global $link; $eval = "\$query = sprintf(\"".$qstring."\""; $func = "mysql_real_escape_string"; $ADD = ", \$link"; if (!function_exists(mysql_real_escape_string)) { // Older versions of PHP4 doesn't have this function??? $func = ""; $ADD = ""; // Quick'n'dirty fix! } // Add every array element "in a row" to the eval-string foreach ($data_array as $var) { if ($var != "") { // Strip-out tags and add slashes $eval .= ", ".$func."(\"".addslashes(strip_tags($var))."\"".$ADD.")"; } else { // Add "nothing" but which has to be done $eval .= ", ''"; } } // Close the sprintf() command... $eval .= ");"; // Finally "eval" the constructed PHP4 code... eval($eval); // ... for quering it to the MySQL server: return @mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); } ?>
