cssfreakie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi all, I just started to learn how to use ajax by using the jquery library. But i was wondering if there are any drawbacks or special (extra) things to pay attention to securitywise. Since one can not rely on client side filtering or validation i thought when the processing script does this like normally would be the case there would be no other security extra's. Is anyone experienced with this? I really have no idea and i just followed a simple tutorial to use jquery with ajax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codefossa Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 You are much better off using a post and gathering the data sent back from php than relying on client-side security. They can easily change that, and get around any filter you set in that manner. JQuery & AJAX will allow you to do the filtering/posting/and whatever else you need without the need to refresh the page though, which is a big up on the users side.

cssfreakie Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think i should clarify myself more, because i totality agree with you that we cant rely on client side validation(ill probbaly add it just for extra look and feel). But since i never did something with ajax as a medium (to sent and retrieve stuff) i was wondering if i need to add more (additional) filtering sanitation as i would normally do. In other words, normally i have a form.php with an action to process.php that last one does all the filtering and sanitation. Now when ajax is put between them is there something extra to watch for?
