[PHP] Dynamic DB query - form display

2005-11-18 Thread Adrian Bruce
Hi I am trying Dynamically creating a Query based on form input for an intranet, i have a text input that allows a user to input part of a where clause such as - not like '04%' - . this bit works fine but i would like to display the clause back in the form field when the page reloads.

Hi Adrian, This appears to be a security hole, but since that wasn't the reason for the question, please try: echoinput type='text' value=' . htmlentities($clause, ENT_QUOTES) . '; php.net/htmlentities Cheers, David Grant Adrian Bruce wrote: Hi I am trying Dynamically creating a Query

I'm aware it would be a security hole if it were available to all users, but it's just for me at the mo, other users get a watered down version with just check boxes. I basically want to allow flexible filtering of a set of data but obviously this poses a few challenges, any ideas always

Hi Adrian, You can still use the text input, but you must ensure that the input is filtered first. There is a wealth of information on SQL injection and its prevention on the Internet. Try these for starters: http://shiflett.org/articles/security-corner-apr2004
