I was wondering if anyone has a tutorial or code to look at.
I am making my own forum for my site, after using MyBB since 2006 and, as I now have php skills I would like to make my own.
Everything has been done, and I have changed the DB so existing posts will be shown on my new forum. Obviously my version is nowhere as good as MyBB!
I just have a couple of things I am not sure about relating to character sets. I know that problems with these can cause vulnerabilities.
Are there any articles to read about this issue (not beginners articles however, something [only slightly] more advanced).
Also, on the matter of characters, do any of you know of a list of characters to block for whatever reason? for instance those non-printing characters that reverse text, etc.
reguards.
