Comments on: Simple Tagging With PHP & MySQL http://www.brainhandles.com/techno-thoughts/simple-tagging-with-php-mysql Whatever's tugging at my brain handles Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:46:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Roberto http://www.brainhandles.com/techno-thoughts/simple-tagging-with-php-mysql/comment-page-1#comment-8751 Roberto Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:44:44 +0000 http://www.brainhandles.com/2007/04/26/simple-tagging-with-php-mysql/#comment-8751 Hello, Thanks for the article, it is a quite simple script for what I'm trying to add into my recipes catalog. One thing I noticed though, is that while you clean up the tag suggestion before including in the SQL statement, you completly missed the XSS cleanup to do before using the tag suggested in the HTML output. Acording to php.net, there's simple function to do this strip_tags: www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Hope it helps avoid any misuse of other sites! Rob Hello,

If the tag exists, retrieve the ID, and then you'll have the data to do the insert on the video_tags table. If the tag doesn't exist, insert it, then retrieve the tag's id, and do your insert on video_tags. @Lester,

My doing a video site which require tagging for each video. i have created 3 tables, one is the video, second is the tag and the third is the video tag table as my table video is many to many to tag table. The problem is i can't fetch the ID from both the video and tag table into my video_tag table as i have foriegn key to these two tables. Do you know the mysql insert statement which allows me to add the ID from the video and tag table into the video_tag table itself?
