How I do love the cheat-sheets
Last month Davey Shafik, programmer, author, Zend Framework contributor and all around nice guy, released a PDF to help PHP programmers grasp what is necessary to turn filthy dirty, untrustworthy user input into refined data that can be safely used in your application.
He named it his Filtering and Escaping Cheat Sheet and it should be required reading for all PHP programmers and children under the age of 5 who just like brightly colored squiggly lines. Seriously, this is a great tool for programmers. Filtering your user input is a very important and often overlooked task. (I know, your users would never attack your application? Right?) Some developers don’t bother with it for whatever reason, others because they don’t know how. Davey’s new cheat-sheet should make it easy and understandable, so there’s no excuse anymore.
Thanks Davey for this cool new tool. Now I’ve just got to find a place on my walls between the Frodo posters to put it.
