How 2 Validate Form Input in Vbulletin

[Come2Daddy]

Hello there,

I'm trying to make a modification which will be a form in a powered by vbulletin page, so the user input his data in that form, but I'm afraid of possible security risk that sure going to occur, so I don't know whether I should go through validating the input of my form or I should just call vbulletin functions and it does the nasty part of validating my form input?, so I concentrate on building the database tables and page templates :)

has any one any idea??

You can use
$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'postnamehere', TYPE_STR(INT,ARRAY etc);
or
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'postname1' => TYPE_****,
'postname2' => TYPE_*** ));


You can then use
$vbulletin->GPC['postnamehere']
to show the value.

Hope thats clear

wow, actually I didn't understand it well, but I'm glad that I don't have to go through validating form input, anyways,
just if you could refer me to a tutorial for these clean_gpc, and clean_array_gpc functions, pleas
I would appreciate it

thanks Enigma :)
