Since you didn’t include your exact versions of compiled jQuery and jQuery UI, the script gives me “there’s an error with AJAX.” I appreciate the tutorial and don’t want to disparage you taking the time to share your work freely with the world, but if you’re going to write a tutorial, put up all the files required, preferably as a downloadable ZIP, and take the time to explain the code.

// Great tutorial but … please fix this SQL INJECTION style mysql_query

!!!!!!!!! SQL INJECTION via $menu[$i] !!!!!!!!!!
mysql_query(“UPDATE `menu` SET `sort`=” . $i . ” WHERE `id`=’” . $menu[$i] . “‘”) or die(mysql_error());
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$menu[$i] variable is send by the client so it’s insecure …
what if I send post … $menu[$i] = blabla’ or 1=1;# … this will update all records in this table …

!!!!!!!! CORRECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
mysql_query(“UPDATE `menu` SET `sort`=” . mysql_real_escape_string($i) . ” WHERE `id`=’” . mysql_real_escape_string($menu[$i]) . “‘”) or die(mysql_error());
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tutorial 10x again

This got me hung up too. I think this is where ‘menu’ is posted from:
echo ” .

I guess the syntax looks for an id and everything after the “_” is what gets posted.

Comment on Generate thumbnails automatically for uploaded images on OpenWYSIWYG by Koualsky

Silly question from newbie to pros:

why do such editors like OpenWYSIWYG trim any whitespace in html view? Is it necessary to right operation in visual mode?

Just asking because sometimes I used to insert ready html blocks with explicit styling classes from my external css, when there’s a need for html re-editing, it’s getting hard to move around such trimmed markup.

Thanks & Greets

ps. great blog! keep on developing it!

Hi,

is it possible to post more data than only one array? Or add some data tho this array before post to php?

I have more than one of these sortable div and i’d like to add the possibility to move elements of one sortable div to another sortable div.

How would you solve this problem?

Regards
Colin
