Re: MySqli question
The description of your problem is a bit vague. You will have to give more information regarding the problem, possibly supply some of the code in question, etc.

A code for just a simple question?

Dude - you don't even tell us what "these problems" are - how are we supposed to help at all?
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

mysqli = library for interfacing with a mysql database
(my)sql injection = a class of security vulnerabilities
Judging from context, you seem to be asking about the second. Here's an article I wrote, detailing both defense mechanisms and possible attacks; it also has a testbed of vulnerable situations and the related attacks that exploit them.

No, injection is still a big risk. The new extension doesn't make you immune to it. :/phpCig wrote:Since I am using MySqli, I don't need too worry about security issues?
