I know I can use the ActionView helper strip_tags method in my views to sanitize output, but what is the best way to sanitize user input before I persist it to my db? Should I find a way to include the view helper in my controller and reuse the strip_tags method? I thought rails would have something available globally to do something l...

Hi, I'm trying to install the Ruby gem sanitize. I've already installed nokogiri: >gem list nokogiri *** LOCAL GEMS *** nokogiri (1.4.0) but when I try and install sanitize I get the following error: >gem install rgrove-sanitize ERROR: Error installing rgrove-sanitize: rgrove-sanitize requires nokogiri (~> 1.3.3, runtime) ...
I've got artefacts which are built and released using Maven. The artefact's original pom.xml contains the usual project information (artifactId, name, etc.) and the dependencies. That's fine. But the pom.xml also includes private information such as the SCM URLs, the names of the developers or a parent-artefact. Is there any way to tell...

Hi, I'm running this function to sanitize all user input through out my site, but it worries me that it may be very performance intensive... // function for cleaning arrays, recursively for arrays held inside arrays function array_clean($array) { // if its an array, walk each element recursively if(is_array($ar...
I have a form which accepts text input. I would like it to be able to accept characters such as & and ; and > and <, which are useful characters for the data being supplied by the user. I want the user to, for example, be able to say The ampersand (&) is encoded as & (and I see from the preview that I can't even do that here - it shou...
This was taken from O'Reilly's Learn PHP, MySQL, and Javascript: function sanitizeString($var) { $var = stripslashes($var); $var = htmlentities($var); $var = strip_tags($var); return $var; } function sanitizeMySQL($var) { $var = sanitizeString($var); $var = mysql_real_escape_string($var); return $var; } Is...
I would like to let my users use regular expressions for some features. I'm curious what the implications are of passing user input to re.compile(). I assume there is no way for a user to give me a string that could let them execute arbitrary code. The dangers I have thought of are: The user could pass input that raises an exception...
Hi, I'm developing an application using Wordpress as a CMS. I have a form with a lot of input fields which needs to be sanitized before stored in the database. I want to prevent SQL injection, having javascript and PHP code injected and other harmful code. Currently I'm using my own methods to sanitize data, but I feel that it might b...
I have a database of ad html, and some of them contain Javascript functions. Is there a way to have rails allow javascript: tags for a particular attribute on a particular model? To clarify further, I can bring the html up in an edit form, but when I try to submit, my browser (Firefox) says the connection is reset. IE gives me an error...
Is there anything like sanitize for controllers? thanks ...
I am experimenting with filter_input and filter_var and I am currently trying to sanitize URLs with FILTER_SANITIZE_URL. The test program gets input from a GET variable which consists of a URL, (ex. foo.com/bar.php?a=http://www.domain.se). It works fine as long as I don't use swedish domain names. Ex: (foo.com/bar.php?a=http://www.äta.se...
searchVersion: function (dataString) { var index = dataString.indexOf(this.versionSearchString); if (index == - 1) return; return parseFloat(dataString.substring(index + this.versionSearchString.length + 1)); } ... returns browser version, in my case, its "3.6". Since I'm going to use this as a class name, I want to remove ...
Which is the best way to "sanitize" content? An example... Example - Before sanitize: Morbi mollis ante vitae massa suscipit a tempus est pellentesque.

I'm trying to sanitize a string that involves user input without having to resort to manually crafting my own possibly buggy regex if possible, however, if that is the only way I would also appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction to a regex that is unlikely to be missing anything. There are a number of methods in Rails t...
About three hours ago I started seeing the above error in my production server.

So, with HTML5 giving us local SQL databases on the client side, if you want to write a select or insert, you no longer have the ability to sanitize third party input by saying $buddski = mysql_real_escape_string($tuddski) because the PHP parser and MySQL bridge are far away. It's a whole new world of SQLite where you compose your querie...
