Please i would like to know how to set a finite number on the input for both text and textarea.
e.g names should not be more than 50 characters input.
This was the mail our client sent to us because of their forms which we used chronoform.
We observed that the Name, email & phone number fields can accept alphabetical, numeric and symbolic characters. In the same vein, the fields accept infinite number of characters. Issues resulting from incorrect input validation could lead to all sorts of problems and vulnerabilities. Here is a listing of some of vulnerabilities that could be solved just by validating input.
• buffer overflows
• injection attacks
• DoS attacks
• memory leakage
• information disclosure
• compromised systems
This list is definitely not all inclusive. There are all sorts of other types of vulnerabilities that would be solved by input validation.
