Anytime I try to post a comment that includes the word "" (S E L E C T without the spaces, in case it's deleted here too!) the word is deleted from the post. The rest of the sentence is there, but the "s-word" is missing. This is really a pain. > Does anyone know why this happens, and can it be fixed? Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I searched and didn't find anything.

If you think I'm crazy and want to see it in action, look here: https://www.wincustomize.com/window.asp?Cmd=COMMENTS&Lib=34&SkinID=57


Thanks,

Filtering input on SQL statements is a bad solution. It's like preventing burglars from breaking in by covering your house in concrete.

The correct solution would be to escape the text before entering it into the database. Escape all binary code or anything that could break the query.

That sure would prevent the burglars from coming in now, wouldn't it?

Listen, we got aware of the problem, we shut down the site, Pat made this quick fix and we're back up and safe now. WC 2k4 is coming soon so lets not panic, k?

I find the term half-life ironic, since a chemical never really completely decays, just keeps splitting in half until there is only one atom left. Halflife 2 sure is takin awhile to come out.
