strlen but for #'s

[joey3002]

$limit = strlen($GET['limit']) > 500 ? $GET['limit']:die('Too Many Items');

I know i need to replace the strlen with something but basically what I am trying to do is set a MAX limit, in other words I do not want more than 500, but i want it customizable.

I am using $limit in a mysql command to limit the number of lines. I am trying to prevent someone from changing the url to list 10,000 lines.

Thanks

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but if you're just comparing two numerical values, just remove the strlen.

So if $_GET['limit'] is set to 50, or some other integer, you can just change the code to:

<?php
if ($_GET['limit'] < 500) {
    // limit is a smaller number than 500
    $limit = $_GET['limit'];
} else {
    die('Too many items');
}
?>

If you compare strlen, then the limit of, for example, 400 gets compared as a value of 3, which I assume you don't want.
