Hi all.
If you are sanitizing _POST input for a database by escaping (via
mysql_*), is there a reason to use strip_tags()? If so, why and could
you provide an example?
Thanks,

innerHTML is a string. The DOM is not a string, it's a hierarchal
object structure. Shoving a string

Not really, as long as you're using something like
mysql_real_escape_string(). Though if you're redisplaying it to your
users (ie

The database won't care
Actually, yes, the data is likely to be redisplayed to the users on a
website.
I covered that in my answer. Likely maybe; a certainty no.
However, when shoving the data to the browser, I use
htmlentities(). Is it recommended to use strip_tags() before sending to
htmlentities()?
Not unless
abs($balanceTest) = 15.22
abs($oldLineArray[16]) = 15.22
$diff = abs($balanceTest) - abs($oldLineArray[16]);
echo abs($diff) . \n;

Methinks you have different data types.

Works? Does round convert the string
below is the output I'm seeing along with my code. There are 11425 items in
the database, many of each of these possible values for $i[4], however
you'll see from my Output that the $iiscount variable is the only one being
incremented and it is getting incremented for every row in the table.
Nevermind, I figured it out. I needed to make the if statements use ==
instead of = like this:
if ($i[4] == IISRESET) {
$iiscount = $iiscount + 1;
}
etc. =)

Why not let the DB do this for you? You can group by whatever column
that is and select count(*), column_your_looking_for.

Well, what I need to be able to do is then take the numbers of each count
and figure out which is used the most. We use this database to log actions
taken on servers in our network. What my boss wants me to come up with is a
list of which commands are issued the most, which servers get the most

Well, MySQL can aggregate the data for you so you don't have to pass it
to PHP. It can just give you the results. I suggest reading up on the
SELECT COUNT syntax and the GROUP BY syntax in MySQL.

Robert, when you do yours, it's performing the same function on two
different variable types and has to do a conversion before the function
works. He was doing a numeric function on a string which might be
giving the funky results.
