如果你使用的是PostgreSQL, PHP的输入可以用pg_escape_literal()进行转义

$username = pg_escape_literal($_POST['username']);

从文档中可以看到:

pg_escape_literal()转义用于查询PostgreSQL数据库的字面值。它返回PostgreSQL格式的转义文本。

PHP过滤器扩展有许多检查外部用户输入所需的功能&它的设计是为了使数据消毒更容易和更快。

PHP过滤器可以轻松地清理和验证外部输入。

PHP现在有了新的不错的filter_input函数，例如，现在有了内置的FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL类型，可以将您从寻找“最终的电子邮件正则表达式”中解放出来

我自己的过滤器类(使用JavaScript突出显示有错误的字段)可以由ajax请求或普通表单post发起。(见下面的例子) <？ ／** *猪肉成型验证器。通过正则表达式验证字段，并可以清除它们。使用PHP filter_var内置函数和额外的正则表达式 *包装猪肉 * /

/**
 *  Pork.FormValidator
 *  Validates arrays or properties by setting up simple arrays. 
 *  Note that some of the regexes are for dutch input!
 *  Example:
 * 
 *  $validations = array('name' => 'anything','email' => 'email','alias' => 'anything','pwd'=>'anything','gsm' => 'phone','birthdate' => 'date');
 *  $required = array('name', 'email', 'alias', 'pwd');
 *  $sanitize = array('alias');
 *
 *  $validator = new FormValidator($validations, $required, $sanitize);
 *                  
 *  if($validator->validate($_POST))
 *  {
 *      $_POST = $validator->sanitize($_POST);
 *      // now do your saving, $_POST has been sanitized.
 *      die($validator->getScript()."<script type='text/javascript'>alert('saved changes');</script>");
 *  }
 *  else
 *  {
 *      die($validator->getScript());
 *  }   
 *  
 * To validate just one element:
 * $validated = new FormValidator()->validate('blah@bla.', 'email');
 * 
 * To sanitize just one element:
 * $sanitized = new FormValidator()->sanitize('<b>blah</b>', 'string');

当然，请记住，您也需要根据您使用的db类型进行sql查询转义(mysql_real_escape_string()对于sql server来说是无用的)。您可能希望在适当的应用程序层(如ORM)自动处理这个问题。另外，如上所述:对于输出到html使用其他php专用函数，如htmlspecialchars;)

真正允许HTML输入的类和/或标签依赖于一个专用的xss验证包。不要编写自己的正则表达式来解析html !

有一个技巧可以帮助您在特定情况下使用/mypage?id=53，在WHERE子句中使用id是为了确保id确实是一个整数，如下所示:

if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
  $id = $_GET['id'];
  settype($id, 'integer');
  $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id = '$id'");
  # now use the result
}

但当然，这只排除了一个特定的攻击，所以阅读所有其他的答案。(是的，我知道上面的代码不是很好，但它显示了具体的防御。)

只是想添加关于输出转义的主题，如果您使用php DOMDocument使您的html输出，它将在正确的上下文中自动转义。属性(value="")和<span>的内部文本不相等。 为了防止XSS，请阅读以下内容: OWASP跨站防御备忘单

PHP 5.2引入了filter_var函数。

它支持大量的SANITIZE, VALIDATE过滤器。
