[SOLVED] Storing information: urls and emails in a database.


Recommended Posts

Is it actually essential to stop users entering characters such as < or > or ' into a mysql database? I know it can be dangerous. But can't you just use prepared statements or something  ???? Because it would be useful if I could store all characters in my database.

Thanks for any help,

Yes. And in fact <> are not dangerous for mysql. You should be careful with them however, because users might include html tags such as < script> or < iframe> that could load malicious content on your page.
