mysql_real_escape_string (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5) mysql_real_escape_string --
Экранирует специальные символы в строках для
использования в выражениях SQL
Описаниеstring mysql_real_escape_string ( string unescaped_string [, resource link_identifier] )
Экранирует специальные символы в unescaped_string,
принимая во внимание кодировку соединения, таким образом, что результат
можно безопасно использовать в SQL-запросе в функци mysql_query().
Если вставляются бинарные данные, то к ним так же необходимо применять эту функцию.
mysql_real_escape_string() вызывает библиотечную функцмю MySQL
mysql_real_escape_string, которая добавляет обратную косую черту к следующим символам:
\x00, \n,
\r, \, ',
" and \x1a.
Эта функция должна всегда (за несколькими исключениями) использоваться для того,
чтобы обезопасить данные, вставляемые в запрос перед отправкой его в MySQL.
Список параметров
unescaped_string
Строка, которая должна быть экранирована.
link_identifierThe MySQL connection. If the
link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by
mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it
will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called
with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNING level warning is generated.
Возвращаемые значения
Возвращает строку, в которой экранированы все необходимые символы,
или FALSE в случае ошибки.
Примеры
Пример 1.
Простой пример использования
mysql_real_escape_string()
|
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
OR die(mysql_error());
$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'",
mysql_real_escape_string($user),
mysql_real_escape_string($password));
?>
|
|
Пример 2. Пример взлома с использованием SQL Injection |
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='{$_POST['username']}' AND password='{$_POST['password']}'";
mysql_query($query);
$_POST['username'] = 'aidan';
$_POST['password'] = "' OR ''='";
echo $query;
?>
|
Запрос, который будет отправлен в MySQL:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='aidan' AND password='' OR ''='' |
Это позволит кому угодно войти в систему без пароля.
|
Пример 3. Лучший вариант составления запроса
Применение mysql_real_escape_string() к каждой переменной,
вставляемой в запрос, предотвращает SQL Injection. Нижеследующий код является
наилучшим вариантом составления запросов и не зависит от установки
Magic Quotes.
|
<?php
function quote_smart($value)
{
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
}
return $value;
}
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
OR die(mysql_error());
$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user=%s AND password=%s",
quote_smart($_POST['username']),
quote_smart($_POST['password']));
mysql_query($query);
?>
|
Запрос, составленный таким образом, будет выполнен без ошибок,
и взлом с помощью SQL Injection окажется невозможен.
|
ПримечанияЗамечание:
Функцию mysql_real_escape_string() можно использовать
только после того, как установлено соединение с MySQL. В противном
случае возникнет ошибка уровня E_WARNING, а функция
возвратит FALSE. Если link_identifier не указан,
используется последнее открытое соединение.
Замечание:
Если magic_quotes_gpc включены,
то сначала данные следует обработать функцией stripslashes().
Если mysql_real_escape_string() применяется к данным,
которые уже были прослешены, то в результате слеши в данных будут удваиваться.
Замечание:
mysql_real_escape_string() не экранирует символы
% и _. Эти знаки являются масками
групп символов в операторах MySQL LIKE,
GRANT или REVOKE.

As for the example that uses empty instead of isset, keep in mind that "0" returns true for empty. This may not be a good idea if a user_id could be 0.

Another variant on quote_smart. I figured the problem with other versions (and I *do* use them) is that they're trying to *not* quote numbers; so I turned it around to check for the input value being a string instead. Keep in mind that all incoming values via GET, POST, etc. are already strings.
This version provides correct quoting for leading zeroes and single-digit numeric zeroes (a fault of most other versions), and places the burden of type-checking on the caller where it belongs (the caller implicitly controls the quoting via the type of value submitted to the function). All strings are quoted even if castable to a numeric type. Any non-string values are examined for being numeric and returned unchanged if so; otherwise an error is returned. I couldn't think of any real world scenarios where handling arrays, objects or booleans made sense (MySQL doesn't support any of these natively).
This version also has two optional parameters that accept a boolean for "nullify" (returns NULL for nulls/empty strings/unset values if true instead of a quoted empty string) and "conn" (database connection resource for the mysql_real_escape_string function if desired). To skip the nullify parameter but use the conn parameter, send null for the second parameter in the call.
Hope it'll help someone else out.
<?php
function quote_smart($value = "", $nullify = false, $conn = null) {
$nullify = ($nullify === null) ? (false) : ($nullify);
$value = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? (stripslashes($value)) : ($value);
if ((!isset($value)) || (is_null($value)) || ($value === "")) {
$value = ($nullify) ? ("NULL") : ("''");
}
else {
if (is_string($value)) {
if (function_exists('mysql_real_escape_string')) {
$value = "'" . (((isset($conn)) && (is_resource($conn))) ? (mysql_real_escape_string($value, $conn)) : (mysql_real_escape_string($value))) . "'";
}
else {
$value = "'" . mysql_escape_string($value) . "'";
}
}
else {
$value = (is_numeric($value)) ? ($value) : ("'ERROR: unhandled datatype in quote_smart'");
}
}
return $value;
}
?>

// this doesn't do adding the quotes, checking for null, etc that the quote smart does, it simply sanitizes input and handles arrays recursively
<?php
function sanitize($input){
if(is_array($input)){
foreach($input as $k=>$i){
$output[$k]=sanitize($i);
}
}
else{

if you're doing a mysql wildcard query with
LIKE, GRANT, or REVOKE
you may use addcslashes to escape the string:
<?
$param = mysql_real_escape_string($param);
$param = addcslashes($param, '%_');

An update on Example 1428. A "Best Practice" query
if (isset($_POST['product_name']) && isset($_POST['product_description']) && isset($_POST['user_id'])) {
...........
}
else {
echo "Fill the form properly\n";
}
The condition above will still put empty data into a database even though forms are empty. The condition should be corrected to code below. It checks empty fields in a form and handle errors.
if (!empty($_POST['product_name']) && !empty($_POST['product_description']) && !empty($_POST['user_id'])) {
...........
}
else {
echo "Fill the form properly\n";
}

The function quote_smart provided will fail on the following kind of string
2E345668
The is_numeric will return true and will treat it as number. When it's passed to mysql, mysql'll think that it's a double and will try to parse it. But this number is much larger than the maximum allowed double in mysql. Thus, mysql will complain.
The fix is to add is_finite check when checking if the argument is a number.

Quick update to example 1402.A, in the example no database is selected, and therefore the query won't work right. Here is a updated version with the database selected. If anyone has any thoughts on how to improve my selection method, please let me know.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['product_name']) && isset($_POST['product_description']) && isset($_POST['user_id'])) {
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
$select = mysql_select_db('mysql_name', $link);
if(!is_resource($link)) {
echo "Failed to connect to the server";
} elseif(!$select) {
echo "Failed to select database";
} else {
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
if(ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase')) {
$product_name = str_replace("''", "'", $_POST['product_name']);
$product_description = str_replace("''", "'", $_POST['product_description']);
} else {
$product_name = stripslashes($_POST['product_name']);
$product_description = stripslashes($_POST['product_description']);
}
} else {
$product_name = $_POST['product_name'];
$product_description = $_POST['product_description'];
}
$query = sprintf("INSERT INTO products (`name`, `description`, `user_id`) VALUES ('%s', '%s', %d)",
mysql_real_escape_string($product_name, $link),
mysql_real_escape_string($product_description, $link),
$_POST['user_id']);
mysql_query($query, $link);
if (mysql_affected_rows($link) > 0) {
echo "Product inserted\n";
}
}
} else {
echo "Fill the form properly\n";
}
?>
Enjoy!

Of course, all of this is moot if you use the new (pdp 5.1) PDO class and PDO::prepare($sql) with bound variables that protects against sql injection.

The quote_smart function in the example above has no issues with losing leading zeros.
If the variable passed to it is numeric in nature then the variable is returned unchanged. This is fine as a number cannot be the source of an insertion attack.
If the variable passed to it is a numbic string (that is to say a string whose format is that of a number per the rules of is_numeric) then the variable is is also returned UNCHANGED. This is also fine because even though the variable is a string, we've confirmed that it contains only numbers, with a possible '.', '+', '-', 'e' (for exponential notation), or 'x' if it's a number in hex. None of these characters is a risk.
If the variable is a string and does not appear to be a number it is properly escaped.

I concur with icydee. It's important that SQL Injection is prevented on the server side. A person (or software) doing SQL Injection on your site will often post to your page from one of his own making. For example, you may present a page like the following on http://examplesite.com/ that sanitizes all data before submitting.
<html>
<head><script type="text/javascript" src="validation.js" /></head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="/login.php">
Name: <input type="text" name="the_acount" value="" /><br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" value="" /><br/>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit" onClick="Sanitize()"/>
</body>
</html>
Your attacker views the source code and makes his own login page on his local hard drive. It doesn't have to look like or even load from your page as long as he posts the form data to your site using your expected parameters.
<html><body>
<form method="POST" action="http://examplesite.com/login.php">
<input type="hidden" name="the_acount" value="1'; drop table users; select 1 where name='" /><br/>
Password: <input type="hidden" name="pwd" value="Oh, was I supposed to be hashed?" /><br/>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit" />
</body></html>

I think instead of just using the quote_smart function to quote whatever the user gives you, you should ideally specify whether you are looking for a string or a number. For example if you have a user script and are using a sql statement like this, where username is a char or varchar field:
$sql="SELECT id FROM user_table WHERE user_name=".quote_smart($_POST['userName']);
if the user submits 12345 for example, you get:
SELECT id FROM user_table WHERE user_name=12345
Your DB 1) Must convert the 12345 to a string (not a huge deal) 2) Probably cannot use any index you have on that column (could be a bigger deal with a sizeable table)
So i think something more along the lines of:
function quote_smart($val,$valType) and handle the input based on $valType (being either string or numeric)

After reading through all the different versions I came up with this:
function quote_smart($value)
{
if( is_array($value) ) {
return array_map("quote_smart", $value);
} else {
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
if( $value == '' ) {
$value = 'NULL';
} if( !is_numeric($value) || $value[0] == '0' ) {
$value = "'".mysql_real_escape_string($value)."'";
}
return $value;
}
}
This version is a little slower but it will recursively handle arrays.

To aide in the simplicity of things, I try and validate the information before it is even queried to the MySQL server.
For example. With usernames and passwords, I check for spaces. And ; signs. If either of these are in there, then the login request is ignored, since I do not allow either during registration.
So a simple attack like:
1 or 1=1
Isn't even sent. Instead a "Please check username / password and try again" message is displayed. I display the same message when the query is ignored as I do when an invalid login is parsed. As to not "challenge" the attacker. Make them think simply it was an invalide username/password, rather than a big deal like
die("Hacking attempt!!!");
You could very easily implement logging to keep track of malicious IP's and what-not as well.

$value=array_map("stripslashes",$value);
}
if(!array_map("is_number",$value)) {
$value=array_map("mysql_real_escape_string",$value);
}
}
else {
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value=stripslashes($value);

if(!is_number($value)) {

}
}
return $value;

mysql_real_escape_string is a bit annoying when you need to do it over an array.
function mysql_real_escape_array($t){
return array_map("mysql_real_escape_string",$t);
}
this one just mysql_real_escape's the whole array.
ex) $_POST=mysql_real_escape_array($_POST);
and then you dont have to worry about forgetting to do this.

A quick function to mysql_real_escape_string every value in array (Think $_SESSION and $_POST guys).
This may be simple, and to some bloody obvious, but its useful little function, and I could find one on this page so:
function CleanArray($array) {
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
$array[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
return $array;
}

According to the newsforge refered to by Picky, it is adviseable to run PREPAREd statements in order to avoid injection. Plus, I created a table that stores pre-defined prepared statements and a procedure that runs that query. That way it's possible to control more tighly what's to be queried.
Example in mysql5 lingo:
create sys_queries (
name varchar(100), # query ID
mysql_statement text, #
primary key( name )
);
insert into sys_queries set name='search_users', 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE concat( username, name, email ) REGEXP ?';
delim $$
create sp_perform_query( _name varchar(100), _search_term varchar(255) )
begin
DECLARE _stat TEXT DEFAULT NULL;
SELECT mysql_statement INTO _stat FROM sys_queries WHERE name = _name;
IF _stat IS NOT NULL THEN
SET @a = _stat;
SET @b = _search_term;
PREPARE s FROM @a;
EXECUTE s USING @b;
END IF;
end;
$$
delim ;
in PHP5, use mysqli to call the procedure, first arg is the query name, second, the search arg. Still don't know a good way to pass multiple arguments to mysql, so please let me know.

It seems to me that you could avoid many hassels by loading valid database values into an array at the beginning of the script, then instead of using user input to query the database directly, use it to query the array you've created. For example:
<?php
$categories = sql_query("select catName from categories where pageID = ?",$_GET['pageID']);
while ($cts = @mysql_fetch_row($categories)) {
$cat_ar[$cts[0]] = $cts[0];
}
...
$cats = $_GET['cats'];
foreach($cats as $c) {
if ($cat_ar[$c]) { $cats1[] = "'".mysql_real_escape_string($c)."'";
}
}
$cats = $cats1;
$cat_query = '&& (category_name = \''.implode(' || category_name = \'',$cats).'\')';
$items = sql_query("SELECT * FROM items i, categories c WHERE i.catID = c.catID && pageID = ? $cat_query", $pageID);

Note that mysql_real_escape_string doesn't prepend backslashes to \x00, \n, \r, and and \x1a as mentionned in the documentation, but actually replaces the character with a MySQL acceptable representation for queries (e.g. \n is replaced with the '\n' litteral). (\, ', and " are escaped as documented) This doesn't change how you should use this function, but I think it's good to know.

Hey,
Since SQL injection is such a fear it is beyond me as to why this hasn't been included yet. I set this function up to take a query with ?'s in it and replace those with the correctly quoted values. I don't do the "smart quoteing" i quote it in the SQL because i like to see the quotes there.
<?php
function db_query($query) {
$args = func_get_args();
$query = array_shift($args);
$query = str_replace("?", "%s", $query);
$args = array_map('mysql_real_escape_string', $args);
array_unshift($args,$query);
$query = call_user_func_array('sprintf',$args);
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
return $result;
}
?>
call it like
<?php
$results = db_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='?' AND password = PASSWORD('?');", $username,$password);
?>
This automagicaly quotes them and executes the query for you and also dies if there is an error in the query.

@ keith dot lawrence at jpmh dot co dot uk:
But an empty string is not per defenition NULL... usually you look for NULLable columns in your database on special occasions, so I think it's best to keep that apart...

Here's my version, this replaces empty strings with NULLs instead of using a quoted empty string which was causing a sql error when adding empty values to an integer column which allows nulls. Your mileage may vary.
<?php
function quote_smart($value) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $value = stripslashes($value);
if($value == '') $value = 'NULL';
else if (!is_numeric($value) || $value[0] == '0') $value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'"; return $value;
}
?>

It's quite easy to stop the problem of 0666 returning as 666 in the example of quote_smart. Look at this:
<?php
function quote_smart($value) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
if (!is_numeric($value) || $value[0] == '0') {
$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
}
return $value;
}
?>
It now checks if there is a leading zero, and then it should be treated als a text, instead as a numerical value. Just an easy workaround.
huuanito at hotmail dot com
27-Feb-2006 11:36
just tried on php 4.4.2 the quote_smart example works just fine with 0666 it comes back as 0666 and 00 comes back as 00. a single 0 gets lost however but I don't see that as a problem, unless of course you want that as your password. quote_smart works for me.
cedric over blog com
06-Feb-2006 08:20
as already said :
the example is wrong !
If your password is 0666 quote_smart will return : 666

Note that to use quote_smart(), you have to connect to the database via mysql_connect(). Otherwise, mysql_real_escape_string() will have no way of knowing what database you want to use.
If you want to use the OO approach or mysqli_connect(), you're going to have to rewrite quote_smart() to accept a MySQL connection, which it would then pass to mysql_real_escape_string().
This is a pretty lackluster solution, though, for anyone concerned with abstraction.

The problem with this function returning an empty string instead of an escaped string seems to be related to the mysql lib versions installed on the server. On 3 servers, each with php 4.3.10, I had no problems on 2 of them, but got the empty string on the 3rd. The 2 that worked had versions 4.1.x and 4.0.x of mysql. The 3rd that did not work had 3.23.x
The failure also only occurred when I did not have a mysql connection set up before running the escape function. If I did DB::connect (using the PEAR DB object) before running the function, it worked, even if I didn't pass in the connection id. If I ran the function before DB::connect, then I got an empty string.
So, if you are getting an empty string, check your mysql lib version and check where you are connecting to the db in relation to calling the escape function in your code.

For a "best practices" approach to handling user input, one should always include enforcement of input length limitations. This will avoid potential attacks based on *very* large values being inserted, some of which may not be foiled just by escaping a string. (Length limits imposed via your form may be bypassed by submitting from a page or tool created by the attacker.) As a cursory example:
<?php
$maxNameLen = 25;
$limitedName = substr($_POST['username'],0,$maxNameLen);
$safeUsername = mysql_real_escape_string($limitedName);
?>
Note that you'll need to take care to truncate the correct (raw) value and not something that has already been processed. Otherwise, you're exposing the potential attack data to more potential points of failure, plus valid input may grow in length with escape processing and be incorrectly truncated.

well, smth like that

mysql_escape_string($string);
} elseif ($dbcon) {
mysql_real_escape_string($string,$dbcon);

}

The quote_smart() function in the "Best Practice" section does not quote any value which is all numeric. This will drop all zero's from the the lefthand side of a string. While this is intended to simplify the query string when storing numeric values this has a negative effect when trying to store strings which just so happen to be all digits. For instance some zip codes have one or more zero's on the lefthand side, and an MD5 hash may contain all numeric characters and the lefthand characters can be zero's. In these cases the lefthand zero's will be dropped.
I would simply drop the is_numeric() check. There's no reason to not quote numeric values.
<?php
$qs = "UPDATE tbl SET zipcode=" . quote_smart('01234');
$qs = "UPDATE tbl SET number=" . quote_smart('01234');
?>
ludvig dot ericson at gmail dot com

A case where you do not need to escape is when you are about to compare the UI (User Input) with a database through MD5 hashes, infact if you do, the password stored in the database will not match the one in the request.
I had a living hell trying to solve this in my earlier days, so I just wanted to enligthen any other newbies,
<?php
$try_pass=md5($_POST['u_pass']);
?>
is sufficient escaping.
Cheers
