addslashes / strip_tags is true?

[Chris_Evans]

Hi there,
I've got the following:

$s_username = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['username']));
$s_password = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['password']));

Is there anyway of using an if statement around those to see whether they actually did anything?

Sort of like an error check:

If somebody submits a ' or a " in the query, then I want it to send them back to the login page saying that they used an invalid login or something.

Thanks,

Chris Evans

You find that with out with regex search and replace, but not with addslashes() and strip_tags(), methinks.

You could always do a strpos() check or something, I suppose.

Ok, just thought there might be an easy solution I suppose. :p

Thanks anyway! 🙂
