I use array_map on an array after doing that, using join() no longer works Im pretty sure its because the position of the array is at the end I tried to use reset() on the array but that did not work. Any ideas?

Cool Thanks.

I can apply validation easily by using array_map on $_POST and $_GET

That was just an example, its not used for age

Hmm, is there another option to do this altogether as htmlentities() will need to be added numerous times on over 500 pages....

Yeh I was thinking that, however I have an issue with that too! If someone wanted to put this as there name I <3 cheese And the char limit in the database is 11 chars... after the < is converted to entity it will display as < Hence, I <3 cheese will not fit in the database Thats the only issue I have with entities, any more ideas?

Ok, I found out how there where doing it.. Its odd they where getting cookie details as document.cookie etc will only return there cookie for the website they are on Hence.. they must have been injecting code on my website for it to execute www.website.com/page.php?username=john&age=<script url=www.external.com/java.js></script> Then on my page if I had echo $_GET['username'].$_GET['age'] There code was injected and executed! Ive got around this using strip_tags to kill all HTML and Java code etc.. Is this strong enough?

How can I stop cookie spoofing? As in... using PHP's setcookie I set cookies to remember a users login.. However, for instance putting this into the address bar javascript:alert(document.cookie) reveals the cookie for the website they are on If someone uses http://tinyurl.com and sets up some code as demonstrated above, its not hard for them to get their cookie details and in turn login as them as they have their cookie info! How can I protect my self from this?

Ok, I will put faith in the database Cheers

yeh, but still, it accumulates 100,000's rows it doesnt make sense to me to have to query that table every time you flick between a page It will just hammer it Im talking about optimising here.. not standard ways for small bespoke applications

the messages table has 500,000 rows of data, even with index.. if its getting hammered by 1000s of users id rather find another way..

When someone sends someone else a message I want to flash a box saying new message However, I dont want to query the database every page refresh, I called SESSIONs on every page so it makes sense to manipulate them.. I need it this way

You cant use those functions to read the raw php session file.. it contains etc bits Does anyone know of a function to perform this action

session_decode doesnt appear to work. Checked into it and appears to be because of the use of a pipe | of which my session files have

I need a function that can unserialize the contents of a session file so I can manually alter a value Then, I need to save the file This cant involve any session_start() etc as I dont want to over write the real session I would prefer to do it all raw Cheers

Im creating my own google suggest however a bit stuck with css! To simplify, I have a div in the middle of a page Inside this div is a textbox. I want to float another div under this textbox starting from the 0 x cord of the textbox The floating div must over lap anything underneath. I dont want it to add to the overall height of the master div How can I do this?

Can you actually just link it to se google lookups Im not talking about it quering my own database, I want a search box on my website to display relivent suggestions using googles "Google Suggest" system Any idea how?

I have 3x 10kRPM SCSI disks in a RAID 5 array I also have 1xSATA 7200RPM Can anyone think of why hdparm -tT on both drives results in the SATA drive being faster for buffered and cached reads?
