Not just echo - you can do script injection easily if it's being echoed, but code injection is much more of a threat than script injection, and script injection is much easier if you're doing some operations on the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. That's why it's wise to handle that piece only once, and with a tight regex. Webmasters frequently neglect to think of things like the referer and even the IP address as user-supplied, but they are.

so the same would go for user-agent and anything else that can be set by using curl and others then...

I could be happily running a little stats query on distinct user agents and echoing out values, counts etc... and then wonder why the lights went out??

Just don't trust anything from the user Smiley

scrub out the obvious things that shouldn't be there, or run it through htmlentities to neuter any injection attempts - but again don't count on someone else's code to make you safe; there are ways I can get code through that will work properly when entity-ized.

Oh cripes, there you go again messing up my day.  D'oh! Do you know how much legacy code I now need to go through and make sure my IPDelivery stuff is not vulnerable?

(Thanks, BTW - nasty tip and huge hole - TBH, never thought of delivering a payload watching my code there.)

So, obviously my sig is backlink building.  I wanted to know more about volume of PPC vs visitors.  What's a fair percentage of clicks/visitors?  Generating traffic is easy, but it can't be garbage.  I can go to a "People with Cancer" site, and tell them all that God's wrath has fallen upon them, but none of the traffic is interested in ads, they just want my blood.  I use the ad clicks/visitors rate to determine quality traffic.  I don't have a good baseline for testing, so what's a solid percentage?


Read the rules buddy.

I nuked the link in his message Perks, but I can't seem to get at the one in his sig. I also sent him a PM explaining how self-promotion is verboten without making special arrangements.

It used to be 20-25% a few years ago when I was into AdSense.
