How Can I Stop The User From Editing The $_GET Variable
Aro replied to Aro's topic in PHP Coding Help
Do have any idea on the BEST way to go about that? any ideas? -
I have coded a database and I dont like how the user can edit the titles through the get variable. Is there anyway I could stop that? Wouldnt getting each request from the database slow down the site? <?php include "config.php"; include "functions.php"; $SITEURL = addSlash($SITEURL); $action = $_GET['action']; $state = $_GET['state']; $city = $_GET['city']; $id = $_GET['id']; echo $SITEURL; switch($action) { case 'cities': include 'templates/cities.php'; break; case 'place': include 'templates/place.php'; break; case 'places': include 'templates/places.php'; break; default: include 'templates/home.php'; break; } ?> #places.php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title><?php echo $siteTitle; ?></title> </head> <body> <h2><?php echo $SITETOPIC." in ".$city.",".getStateName($state); ?></h2> <?php $query = "SELECT DISTINCT biz_name, biz_id FROM animalshelter WHERE city = '".$city."'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<a href=http://".$SITEURL."place/".$state."/".urlencode($city)."/".$row['biz_id'].">".$row['biz_name']."</a><br />"; } ?> </body> </html> #.htaccess # .htaccess mod_rewrite # demo.com Options +FollowSymlinks Options +Indexes RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /databaseSite/ ErrorDocument 404 /templates/404.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?action=$1&state=$2 [QSA,NC] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z\+\_\-]+)$ index.php?action=$1&state=$2&city=$3 [QSA,NC] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z\+\_\-]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?action=$1&state=$2&city=$3&id=$4 [QSA,NC]
