Help with Anti-SQL

[Gunner54]

well as you can see im trying to test my anti-sql injector

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="Inject.php">
<CENTER><INPUT NAME="IJz" TYPE="text"></CENTER>
<CENTER><INPUT VALUE="Anti-Inject" TYPE="submit"></CENTER>
</FORM>

<?php
if ($_GET['$submit']){
$Test = AntiInject($_POST['IJz']);
echo '$test';
}

//Anti-Injection
function AntiInject($sql){
$sql = str_replace("SELECT", "", $sql);
return $sql;
}
?>

everything seems to go wrong... I type SQL Injection text into the box, press Submit and i want it to echo the results after going through AntiInject(); im just using the word SELECT to see if it works.

any help?

well what echos out? Try putting some other text in it.

what do you mean? can you show me on my code? I only started PHP a few days ago... im more of a... C++ guy..

i dont even think it runs this...

if ($_GET['$submit']){
$Test = AntiInject($_POST['IJz']);
echo '$test';
}

what could i put as the if?

[dclamp]

here, i tested this on my server. There was a couple of problems:

• You used $_GET instead of $_POST
• You had a variable in single quotes
• variable capitalization problem (Test vs. test)
• You had $_GET[$submit']

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="test1.php">
<CENTER><INPUT NAME="IJz" TYPE="text"></CENTER>
<CENTER><INPUT VALUE="Anti-Inject" name="submit" TYPE="submit"></CENTER>
</FORM>

<?php
if ($_POST['submit']){
    $test = AntiInject($_POST['IJz']);
    echo $test;
}

//Anti-Injection
function AntiInject($sql){
    $sql = str_ireplace("select", "", $sql);
    return $sql;
}
?>

echo '$test';

is similar to:

string strVar = "test";

cout << "strVar" << endl; //will print "strVar"
cout << strVar << endl; //will print "test"

This is a needlessly complex way of trying to prevent SQL injection. You should ideally use a data access library, such as PDO or mysqli, which supports parameterised statements. These avoid any chance of injection when used properly.

[dclamp]

nice touch at the end "when used properly"

I want to continue with my site properly, can you show my mysqli or pdo?

[dclamp]

I looked on php.net, and mysqli looks exactly like mysql syntax, just with the "i" appended to the end. if most of all the syntax is the same, then i can just go through and add the i to the end.

is this true pena?

[penagate]

No, you should use prepared statements.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-stmt-prepare

Also, the object-oriented syntax is preferable, although not necessary.

[dclamp]

that looks alot harder then it should be. Do you personally use that? I am not sure if i want to convert every thing to prepared statements

[RudiVisser]

Don't forget to

mysql_real_escape_string() 

too, just an extra security layer.

[penagate]

But don't do that if using parameters.

It's actually a lot easier.
