If you're using it in a straight comparison, you should be good. However, if you have to manipulate data using it, you should probably check to see if the data matches what it should carry (this you can do with preg_match() usually). For example, the IP address -- it should be checked and filtered t...

It is used in phpBB, however it is used after it is cleaned of possible injects. It's usually a good idea to clean any external data, just to be on the safe side.

Be very, very careful there. Messing with $_SERVER variables unescaped is very dangerous.

Hey there, welcome to phpBBModders.

Igor, you should try the Windows 7 RC at least -- I think I've got a spare 64bit key somewhere that you could use.

I'm shocked. It runs DECENTLY, and I've been running the RC for a few weeks now without a crash. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Only complaint so far is the libraries thing. That kinda confuses me -- I want the old links to My Docs...

I know we have some special code classes that generate the site navigation, however for a standard phpBB board (as what he have is certainly not standard, instead it is highly modified) it would require some custom code solutions. I would say the website ...

I'll be looking forward to that -- I just needed the new CAPTCHA integration in the meantime.

The board is about to go live again...wheee!

Awe, darn. I decided to hack the utter crap out of the contact page to get it working anyways, as I am updating a live site to 3.0.6 RC3. If anyone is interested in the abuse that the page received, here it is: <?php /** * * @package phpBB3 * @version 1.0.5 * @copyright (c) 2009 RMcGirr83 * @copyrig...

Is there a version of this MOD that is ready to use with the 3.0.6 CAPTCHA system?

Okay, here's a video from a member of the phpBB community about XSS vulnerabilities and why they are so serious.
