Right? I'm not sure what list this really fits onto so I've left as hackers. The old argument about data validation and whose job it is. However, is there a reason why all CGI parameters aren't scanned and rejected if they contain any punctuation. I was going to say if they contain anything non alphanumeric but then I'm not sure about internationalisation and that test. -- Nigel J. Andrews

Nice. That little, cute admin :-). This is already fixed, and where is 'thanks' i wonder? I've been talking about sql injection. How about that in http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors/index.php: ------- Warning: PostgreSQL query failed: ERROR: invalid INET value 'r' in /usr/local/www/www/mirrors/index.php on line 263 Database update failed, contact the webmaster. insert into mirrorsites(mirrorhostid,ipaddr,portnum,...) values(..) ------ Insert statement is shortened. ________________________________________________________________________ This letter has been delivered unencrypted.

This is one of the reasons I usually recommend running with magic quotes on, it provides a bit of insurance for those spots where your data validation is not up to snuff.
