1Input Filter Support in PHP 5
2-----------------------------
3
4XSS (Cross Site Scripting) hacks are becoming more and more prevalent,
5and can be quite difficult to prevent.  Whenever you accept user data
6and somehow display this data back to users, you are likely vulnerable
7to XSS hacks.
8
9The Input Filter support in PHP 5 is aimed at providing the framework
10through which a company-wide or site-wide security policy can be
11enforced.  It is implemented as a SAPI hook and is called from the
12treat_data and post handler functions.  To implement your own security
13policy you will need to write a standard PHP extension.  There is also
14a powerful standard implementation in ext/filter that should suit most
15peoples' needs.  However, if you want to implement your own security
16policy, read on.
17
18A simple implementation might look like the following.  This stores the
19original raw user data and adds a my_get_raw() function while the normal
20$_POST, $_GET and $_COOKIE arrays are only populated with stripped
21data.  In this simple example all I am doing is calling strip_tags() on
22the data.
