URI Segment Database Safety

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.

I'm a little more concerned with safety, when passing the user generated data directly into Active Record, rather than what else I can do with it.

Also, you shouldn't use is_numeric() to check ID's.
is_numeric() allows much more than just what would you expect for a database ID.
For example: "4.4" would cause an error, but still return TRUE from is_numeric().
I suppose an alternative method would be to use Codeigniter's form_validation, but I don't want to load up libraries just to check an ID.

However, I'm more worried about passing a URI string of data to Active Record, does it require any extra security measures, or will Active Record handle it?
PS: I've been reading http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...urity.html but I just wanna be sure Wink
