This will *NOT* work.

Do not do this.

The only best way to avoid SQL injection is remove 
special chars, such as "'" in strings and !numeric
in numbers.

I know something to use in ASP, but it could be good also in PHP

in ASP, you got a string with the SQL commands:

 

string = "SELECT * FROM tblTable WHERE ID=' & id & '"

 

to prevent a SQL injection attack:

 

string = "SELECT * FROM tblTable WHERE ID=(' & id & ')"

 

in PHP you could do something like this

 

$sql_cmds = "SELECT * FROM tblTable WHERE ID=(' . id . ')";

 

check if this works

Hey folks -

 

Does anyone know of a regexp for checking SQL strings for injection

attempts?
