How to insert into postgre database without concatenate strings? - php

My code is like this:
$sql = "INSERT INTO oraculo VALUES(".$name.$pass.")";
pg_query($dbconn, $sql);
In java i use PreparedStament to insert values without concatenate strings (to avoid sql injection if im right). Is possible to do something like this in PHP? Im want to do something like this:
$sql = "INSERT INTO oraculo VALUES(?, ?)";
//set the value of first '?'
setValue(1, "somename");
//set the value of second '?'
setValue(2, "somepass");
pg_query($dbconn, $sql);

You can use pg_prepare to execute prepared statements to postgres in PHP.
So your code would look like:
pg_prepare($dbconn, "login", 'SELECT * FROM shops WHERE name = $1');
$rs = pg_execute($dbconn, "login", array("somename", "somepass"));

Safe MYSQL querying using user input [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How can I prevent SQL injection in PHP?
(27 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I just want to check how safe (if at all) my PHP-MYSQL queries are, I'm using user data which is coming through $_POST and then validating - the validation process of all data includes using mysqli_real_escape_string() on the string and trim(). The nature of some of my inputs however means that I don't restrict any characters on user input. Is what I'm doing safe and if not how could it be improved.
An example of an insert query (where $name and $description are $_POST data values which have been through a validation function.)
$sql = "INSERT INTO company(company_name, company_description) VALUES('".$name."', '".$description."')";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
An example of a select query (where $companyid is user input, real_escaped and stripped)
$sql = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE event_company=".$companyid."";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
Thanks in advance.
Here are your queries updated to use mysqli prepared statements.
$sql = "INSERT INTO `company` (`company_name`, `company_description`) VALUES(?, ?)";
$stmt = $con->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param('ss',$name,$description); // ss is for string string
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
and
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `events` WHERE `event_company` = ?";
$stmt = $con->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param('i',$companyid); // i indicates integer
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

OR operator on single column PDO

I'm shifting my database connections from mysqli to PDO.
While updating,I'm stuck on one query:
In mysql its:
$quec='designation=10 OR designation=11 OR designation=12';
$query="select firstname,mobile,email from mt where location=".$value." and cp!=".$cpa" and (".$quec.") and dept=".$usersubdept." and mstatus=1";
Its working fine in mysqli.
In PDO i wrote:
$query="select firstname,mobile,email from mt where location=:value AND cp!=:cpa AND (:quec) AND dept=:usersubdept AND mstatus=:mstatus";
Binding the values with variables using bind syntax, I'm not getting any result row.
How to rectify the problem?
I don't think you can use :quec as a parameter, since it is actually 3 things and not a value that can be bound. Otherwise, you may have something wrong with how you're binding, perhaps, but we haven't seen your code for that. Try this:
$query="SELECT firstname, mobile, email FROM mt WHERE location = :value AND
cp != :cpa AND (" . $quec . ") AND dept = :dept AND mstatus = 1";
$stmt = $db->prepare($query);
$stmt->bindValue(':value',$value);
$stmt->bindValue(':cpa',$cpa);
$stmt->bindValue(':dept',$usersubdept);
$stmt->execute();
You need to prepare a string like this: ':id0, :id1, :id2, you can do this like this:
$designationlist = ':id'.implode(',:id', array_keys($designationIds));
then your SQL will be:
$query="select firstname,mobile,email from mt where location=:value AND cp!=:cpa AND designation IN(".$designationlist.") AND dept=:usersubdept AND mstatus=:mstatus";
and:
$parms = array_combine(explode(",", $designationlist), $designationIds);
$stmt = $PDO->prepare($query);
$res = $stmt->execute($parms);

Insertion query in sql php function

i'am beginner in php and i have problem in insertion query
if(isset($id)){
$qry = "insert into user_to_birds(user_id,tax_id)values( 1 ,'.$id .') ";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
}
I'am connected to the database but the query didn't work.
Why it is not working? how can i correct it?
Don't create queries this way. It is very vulnerable to SQL injection.
Use a prepared statement instead. A prepared statement is precompiled, hence will not be subject to SQL injection.
$id = 99;
$tax = 8;
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("insert into user_to_birds(user_id,tax_id)values(?,?)"));
$stmt->bind_param("ii", $user, $tax);
$stmt->execute();
.. work on it ..
$stmt->close();
ii stands for two integers. After that first part of the binding, telling which type of variables you use in which order, can you add the values of those variables to the statement. The values will be escaped automatically using this method.
if(isset($id)){
$qry = "insert into user_to_birds(user_id, tax_id)values('1','$id') ";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
}
Work like a charm.
I think your single quotes should be double quotes:
$qry = "insert into user_to_birds(user_id,tax_id )values( 1 ,".$id .") ";
You are confusing strings in PHP with strings in SQL (which is, admittedly, easy to do).
For how to insert into there's a nice article here
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_insert.asp
INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)
//not sure if this will make a difference buy i would try a space between tax_id) and values(
also, im not sure if the way youve done it is wrong but i would have written like this
if(isset($id))
{
$qry = "insert into user_to_birds (user_id, tax_id)
values( '1' ,'".$id ."') ";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
}
look at string concatination aswell either have
" ' ' ".$variable." ' ' ";
in that fashion
As others have said, it looks like you're not using string concatenation correctly in your query. Try changing your query to something like:
$qry = "INSERT INTO user_to_birds (user_id,tax_id) VALUES ( 1 ,'$id') ";
Another possibility is that your $id variable isn't set. Try printing out the variale before doing the isset() check and that will tell you if you need to look at an earlier point in your code.
Finally, I'd recommend you look at mysqli functions rather than mysql.
http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php
You have some confusion in quotes: your string in " ", your sql value in ' ', but when you concatenate you need to close your string and write dot and variable, after this you need write dot, open string quotes again and write text if it needed. Your mistake - you didn't close string (") before concatenation and this leads to misinterpretation of the code. In this case your code will look like:
$qry = "insert into user_to_birds(user_id,tax_id)values( 1 ,'" .$id ."') ";
But you can not use concatenation,you can do it simply: PHP allows write your variable $id in string, without use concatenation:
$qry = "insert into user_to_birds(user_id,tax_id)values( 1 ,'$id') ";

PHP MYSQL Data fetching issue

I am facing some problem with fetching data from SQL.
When I use the below statement, it is working fine
$sql = 'SELECT `Name`, `Des`, `Url`, `about`, `date` FROM `data` where name = \'facebook\'';
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
When I use the same using a parameter name, I am facing some problem, the code I used is
$name = $_GET['name'];
$sql = 'SELECT `Name`, `Des`, `Url`, `about`, `date` FROM `data` where name = \'$name'';
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
I also tried by concatenating name like \'facebook\'
$name1 = "\'".$name . " \'"; but it is also not working .
use Double quotes so you won't need any escaping of single quotes.
$sql = "SELECT Name, Des, Url, about, date
FROM data
where name = '$name'";
As a sidenote, the query is vulnerable with SQL Injection if the value(s) of the variables came from the outside. Please take a look at the article below to learn how to prevent from it. By using PreparedStatements you can get rid of using single quotes around values.
How to prevent SQL injection in PHP?
Use Mysqli instead of Mysql.
Solution for your query :
$name = $_GET['name'];
$sql = "SELECT Name, Des, Url, about, date FROM data where name = '".mysql_real_escape_string($name)."'";
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );

Should numbers from user input be quoted in MySQL queries to help avoid SQL injection attacks?

Should numbers from user input be quoted in MySQL queries to help avoid SQL injection attacks?
Say i have a form on a page asking for someone's age. They enter their age and hit submit. The following php code deals with the form submission: (age is an int field in the db table.)
$Number = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST["age"]);
$Query = "INSERT INTO details (age) VALUES ($Number)";
$Result = mysqli_query($dbc, $Query);
Instead of this, is there anything to be gained to enclosing the user input in single quotes, even though it is not a string? Like this:
...
$Query = "INSERT INTO details (age) VALUES ('$Number')"; <-- quotes
...
What about performing a SELECT? Is this:
$ID = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST["id"]);
$Query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '$ID'";
$Result = mysqli_query($dbc, $Query);
better than:
$ID = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST["id"]);
$Query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $ID"; <-- no quotes
$Result = mysqli_query($dbc, $Query);
NOTE: I am aware of prepared statements and usually use them over string concatenation but this is legacy code i'm dealing with. I want to secure it as best as i can.
If you add numbers, use the intval/floatval functions, don't use mysql_real_escape_string for those.
For everything you use mysql_real_escape_string for, you must use quotes, example:
$input = "foo'bar";
$input = mysql_real_escape_string($input);
//foo\'bar
mysql_query("SELECT $input");
//SELECT foo\'bar
//which is still an SQL syntax error.
You really shoud use sprintf, even if in legacy code it takes 2 mins to modify and is in my opinion totally worth the time.
Shamelessly ripped from php.net:
// Formulate Query
// This is the best way to perform an SQL query
// For more examples, see mysql_real_escape_string()
$query = sprintf("SELECT firstname, lastname, address, age FROM friends
WHERE firstname='%s' AND lastname='%s'",
mysql_real_escape_string($firstname),
mysql_real_escape_string($lastname));
// Perform Query
$result = mysql_query($query);
Your query is now pretty much safe from being passed the wrong types to it's fields and unescaped caracters.
You SHOULD use the PHP filters, and filter for numbers - even for ranges, regular expressions; with default values, NULL on failure, etc.

if the values come from a request variable, e.g. $_POST, see:
