• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Unless you want abominable URLs, use POST for every single form submission before redirecting to a GET. mysql_real_escape_string() works perfectly. Stop being deceptive. Problems only arise when sloppy, lazy coders screw their code up. mysql_real_escape_string() isn't at fault there. For those...

    PunBB is the best forum software that I'm aware of. Then unless you administrate its server, there's nothing to worry about. Um... it isn't. Well, anything can be embedded in anything else, but not executably. htmlentities() is the only function of those that is useful for sanitization...
