SQL security to prevent attacks
|
Here are some sample codes to be used on different situations to prevent hacking. SQL vulnerability issues are not discussed here but we will be adding them shortly.
In PHP if some variables are taken from query string and used inside one mysql query then the variables are to be sanitized ( checked ) first before using.
When we don't expect any thing other than a numeric value then why not to check the variable by using is_numeric PHP function and terminate the program if data is not a number. Here is a sample code for this.
$cat_id=$_GET['cat_id'];
if(!is_numeric($cat_id)){
echo "Data Error";
exit;
}
$start=$_GET['start'];
if(strlen($start) > 0 and !is_numeric($start)){
echo "Data Error";
exit;
}
If we expect only alphanumeric characters then we can use ctype_alnum function.
if(!ctype_alnum($var)){
echo "Data Error";
exit;
}
