adam291086 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hello, I am creating an app for public use. I was after some advice on form security to prevent code injections and 100% secure. Also what are peoples thoughts on passing information through URL's. i.e www.example.com?id=1. Should this information be encrypted or just left?

Anyhow You should use HTTPS to solve encription problems I recommend PDO (PHP Data Object) for SQL Injection problems solving.

awpti Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Don't rely on usage of PDO for XSS/Injection/security inspection. You should ALWAYS verify and escape an data about to be hurled into a database. It's fairly safe to run every query through mysql_real_escape_string(), but beyond that, you should always verify incoming data. Should something be only a digit? if(ctype_digit($var)) { //yay! } else { //oh noes! } Etc, etc. Make sure the input is exactly what you expect. NEVER EVER trust input. No matter the source (even your own scripts should double and triple check themselves).
