trq Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 How is the tainted data getting in the database in the first place is probably the question you should be asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHPNewbie55 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 I am writing a little tracker script for myself... just playing around with the SE referring urls.... SO if someone search for "Some" Keyword... Those characters get put in the database... I have been trying to figure out how to strip them out... either when they get inserted or when they get displayed it doesn't matter to me... But I can't get anything to strip them out or display them as usual... any help would be appreciated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazerenix Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 check php.net for it, or w3schools, they have great function references for things like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
