Hey, > > Am really starting to like your emails on this > list, > > its different to say the least! > > seeing as you didn't threat to DoS my server I guess > I'm > not trying hard enough to be different ;-) Oops, sorry about that, let me try again: You <insert bad word here>, how dare you say that, I am now going to DOS your server....after I learn how to properly launch a DOS attack, and after I get a botnet (i have one computer so far) and after I know i can cover my tracks, and after i DOS others that really irritate me (RIAA/MPAA etc). Ok, its a horrorable threat but gimme a break, first time I ever threatened to DOS anyone. :o) > > Why is it plain silly? > for the block of data your going to enter in the db > it's > a single call to the function. and the cpu cycles > required > is peanuts in real terms. it's kind of similar to a > call to > output_add_rewrite_var() which essentially buffers > and parse through > the complete output of a given script - something > which works fine under > normal conditions (e.g. your not in the realms of > yahoo-like levels > of page views). > > if you have 1000's of users inserting/updating > 'large' chunks > of HTML all day ever day then you probably have a > different > problem - one that probably requires a server farm > or something > - but if your in that realm the not using of > msyql_real_escape_string() > will still not be the solution. Hmm, thanks for clearing that up, as gratitude even after i learn to DOS and have my botnet up in a few years I shall spare your server. Cheers!
