    Array Issue

    Hello

    Not sure whom to ask this question - but thought will ask anyway. I have friends who are members of a blog site. Users read the blogs and post their comments- Unfortunately someone enters the blog site and leaves a comment called 'Array" and leaves.

    The moment this person does that - all the other comments are hidden and no one, even the author of the blog can view them. Is there a way to bring back the comments so that they can be viewed.

    Will appreciate someone's help in this.

    Thanks.

      Those blog entries are stored in some form of a database; check the database and see what that malicious blogger put in that particular entry. I'm sure it isn't juist the word 'Array'. btw, that is quite fragile blog software.

      kind regards,

      Jos

          Thank you Jos for your quick response- really appreciate it - unfortunately we are just users of the blog so we have no acces to the database - I believe the person Array enters some code in the comments itself that seems to mess up things - we have written to the admin folks but nothing has happened. Thanks much anyway. Take care :) In the comments section people can paste codes that could also affect I am sure.

              possible cause...

              As per my understanding, this must be the work of some javascript code. The blog software must be showing text as it is. so if the malacious user is smart, then become smarter then him... lol... Whenever any comment is posted, then send it to any class to search for the pattern "<javascrip t" (case insensitive, use regular expression for smart searching). And if that pattern exists... then display a message to the user... "you bad boy... I am smarter than you. don't try to play with my blog software".

              Just a suggestion. try and see if it works.
              Best Regards,
