'lo there, I'm just sitting on a train from CeBIT back home and got bored. While beeing bored, I remembered an idea of Thies's he explained to me in Brussles. He actually started implementing it there, but never heard of him about it since. Well, I just hacked some lines of code and came up with a very basic solution for the problem of validating HTTP GET parameters. With this early version of the code it is possible to * allow HTTP GET parameters by name, and just use these allowed parameters * validate HTTP GET parameters based on regular expressions It should be fairly easy to add support for further validation techniques, for instance callbacks to PHP functions that get called with the parameter's name and value and return a boolean for whether or not this parameter is valid. Well, this helped me to pass at least 10 minutes of time of an otherwise boring train ride, so it already was worth something ;-) Greetings, Sebastian -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://phpOpenTracker.de/ Did I help you?
