URIs may only contain the following: -</p> - -<ul> -<li>Alpha-numeric text</li> -<li>Tilde: ~ </li> -<li>Period: .</li> -<li>Colon: :</li> -<li>Underscore: _</li> -<li>Dash: -</li> -</ul> - -<h2>Register_globals</h2> - -<p>During system initialization all global variables are unset, except those found in the $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE arrays. The unsetting -routine is effectively the same as register_globals = off.</p> - -<a name="error_reporting"></a> -<h2>error_reporting</h2> - -<p> - In production environments, it is typically desirable to disable PHP's - error reporting by setting the internal error_reporting flag to a value of 0. This disables native PHP - errors from being rendered as output, which may potentially contain - sensitive information. -</p> - -<p> - Setting CodeIgniter's <kbd>ENVIRONMENT</kbd> constant in index.php to a - value of '<kbd>production</kbd>' will turn off these errors. In development - mode, it is recommended that a value of '<kbd>development</kbd>' is used. - More information about differentiating between environments can be found - on the <a href="environments.html">Handling Environments</a> page. -</p> - -<h2>magic_quotes_runtime</h2> - -<p>The magic_quotes_runtime directive is turned off during system initialization so that you don't have to remove slashes when -retrieving data from your database.</p> - -<h1>Best Practices</h1> - -<p>Before accepting any data into your application, whether it be POST data from a form submission, COOKIE data, URI data, -XML-RPC data, or even data from the SERVER array, you are encouraged to practice this three step approach:</p> - -<ol> -<li>Filter the data as if it were tainted.</li> -<li>Validate the data to ensure it conforms to the correct type, length, size, etc. (sometimes this step can replace step one)</li> -<li>Escape the data before submitting it into your database.</li> -</ol> - -<p>CodeIgniter provides the following functions to assist in this process:</p> - -<ul> - -<li><h2>XSS Filtering</h2> - -<p>CodeIgniter comes with a Cross Site Scripting filter. This filter looks for commonly -used techniques to embed malicious Javascript into your data, or other types of code that attempt to hijack cookies -or do other malicious things. The XSS Filter is described <a href="../libraries/security.html">here</a>. -</p> -</li> - -<li><h2>Validate the data</h2> - -<p>CodeIgniter has a <a href="../libraries/form_validation.html">Form Validation Class</a> that assists you in validating, filtering, and prepping -your data.</p> -</li> - -<li><h2>Escape all data before database insertion</h2> - -<p>Never insert information into your database without escaping it.
