Thanks a ton, Chris & Chris! Clear, concise and informative answers are always the best :) I knew the basic theory but never looked into the specifics on what, exactly, could be harmful in cases like this. In cases of security 'common sense' isn't always helpful because it's the uncommon sense that'll bite you in the behind. Thanks again! -TG = = = Original message = = = Chris Ramsay wrote: > This is excellent: > > http://www.shiflett.org/ I'm glad you think so. :-) There's a free article there on SQL injection: http://shiflett.org/articles/security-corner-apr2004 I'm always refining the methods in which I explain things like SQL injection, so my replies on this thread might be as good or better than that article. The article also has user comments at the bottom, so you might find something useful there also. Hope that helps.
