Thinking about yesterday’s PHP Recompiles C Numerical Sort Genericization Tutorial might beggar the question for many users … Is there a way to not have to worry about “simple defence mechanisms” sharing user entered data onto a serverside recipient webpage codeset? The short answer is “yes”. The long answer is “y-e-s”. Two alternatives occur to us, of many more, we daresay, other people might come up with … set up the arrangements so that the recipient webpage actually exists in an iframe overlaying (probably totally) the parent webpage (via form target=[nameOfThatIframeElement]) … and in that recipient (can still be method=POST) you can refer back to (for example) parent.document.getElementById(‘anyElementOfInterest’)‘s value/innerHTML/outerHTML/whatevvvvvvver … or, what we use today … use hashtagged information … the thing that eases security angst here being that data passes across in the clientside realm rather than any serverside realm. Neither alternative approach is relying on HTML form element usage (for this style of data sharing, though we have a mix of styles now with our Numerical Sorting web application), either. So, as we do today, we have a … new item of data, being the prefixing output wordage to the sorted array (output) … now displayed in a span element attributed contenteditable=true … <?php $inprintf=”youllneverfindthis”; $outprintf=”youllneverfindthis”; // and then, down a ways … $suffix=explode($prefix . $midbit, $ccont)[1]; if (strpos($suffix, ‘printf(“‘) !== false) { $inprintf='”‘ . explode(‘”‘, explode(‘printf(“‘, $suffix)[1])[0] . ‘”‘; $outprintf='”‘ . “</span><span style=cursor:pointer;background-color:lightgreen; title=\”Tailorable output\” id=mycespan contenteditable=true onblur=\” document.getElementById(‘myform’).action=document.getElementById(‘myform’).action.split(‘#’)[0] + ‘#’ + encodeURIComponent(this.innerHTML); \”>” . str_replace(‘”‘,”,$inprintf) . “</span><span id=zsuffix>” . ‘”‘; } ?> … which comes into play, later with … <?php echo ” <span id=sprefix>” . str_replace($httpis,” Thanks to <a onclick=\”window.open(this.innerHTML,’_blank’,’top=100,left=100,width=700,height=700′);\” style=cursor:pointer;text-decoration:underline;>” . trim($httpis), str_replace($endaf, $endat, str_replace(“\n”, “<br>”, str_replace(‘>’,’&gt;’,str_replace(‘<‘,’&lt;’,$prefix))))) . “</span><textarea onkeydown=’retval=true;’ onblur=\”document.getElementById(‘mysub’).click();\” name=myarr id=myarr style=display:inline-block;background-color:pink; rows=1 cols=” .
