phpSensei Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 My forum isnt really finished but I would like to get some opinion of how it is so far. I would appreciate if you see some security holes? http://obb.awardspace.com/index.php NOTE: If the connection does not work, just click backspace until you see the index page, then refresh. THE SITE HOSTING SERVICE SUCKS! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67165-first-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightningstrike Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 It's quite well designed. However it has very limited functionality. Also when posting a message with the text ' OR it became \' OR (escaped) which should not be shown the user. Rather then escaping the message use htmlentities($text,ENT_QUOTES); which will encode quotes rather then escape them. I also don't believe that you have made a flood defense feature, although the web host is too slow to test that out. Also at the bottom of every post near the icons i see text "dd232323" perhaps remove that After posting a new topic it says refreshing and takes you to a page on local host which we clearly can't access. That's about as much I've checked out so far. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67165-first-forum/#findComment-336897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 oh forgot that, I was going to fix that htmlentities thing awhile go, but forgot. I also havent made a flood system at all, I will create a cookie for the last topic made by the user, then if 30 seconds havnt passed, he cant post a new topic....etc ONE MORE THING! which random text after every post do you speak of? I can't seem them! Maybe you can print screen it or something.... THANKYOU btw.

lightningstrike Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I would personally recommend a database IP specific timed ban for flood limits but that's up to you. I believe the random text I am seeing is actually a bunch of images ALT tags. images/spacer.gif is not loading for me so I see it's text tag instead.

tommyboy123x Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 some more stylistic / usage comments: - Top Posters: none - Most Popular Member: none doesnt really seem necessary on the home page. I could see where it would be a good idea and i like the originality, but i feel this would be better suited on the members page. http://obb.awardspace.com/index.php?page=viewtopic&forum=2&topic=5 notice the DD2323WHATEVER next to the buttons... nuff said no bw filter, you have a literal "<" displayed in place of the <, same for greater than, quote, amp, and your forgetting to strip the slashes. It seems your storing the information safely but not displaying it nicely. Also to post a topic it was painful... and you used GET variables meaning it would easily be able to make random spam topics with a bot or something. overall I'd be very proud of that if i were you. Its a great accomplishment, if you will, to create a forum. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67165-first-forum/#findComment-337022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
