Hi I have a question about managing data from forms and database, to be exact for safe input/output data from form input fields. Do i need some filters to remove code from input if user try to insert ? When i making database table i limiting chars and same in form. Here is a piece of code i use just for test and example : // connection to database $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test123', 'root', ''); $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); // variables to insert into database $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; $email = $_POST['email']; // query with prepare statements $stmt = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email) VALUES (:username, :password, :email)"); $stmt->bindParam(":username", $username, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt->bindParam(":password", $password, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt->bindParam(":email", $email, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt->execute(); $lastId = $dbh->lastInsertId(); // checking if query is passed and data is inserted into dataabse if($lastId > 0) { echo 'Thank u for register.'; } else { echo 'Something went wrong, please try again.'; }
