LassoFusebox Core Files
last update 04-28-12
Latest version of the LassoFusebox core files. Now runs in browser immediately, without any modifications. These files were originally updated 09-20-08 to better protect against cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks by adding encode_html to user supplied input before its used inside any page + encode_sql to action_params being auto-converted to string variables. On 01-27-10 I removed the encode_sql from section 4 of fbx_LassoFusebox3.inc (auto-converting action_params to variables) because a) it was causing double-encoding (saving "can't" stored and displayed "can\'t") and b) it was unneeded because raw, un-html encoded action_params are never used, instead action_params are set to variables before being used or displayed and only action_params inside MySQL SQL statments are encoded_sql. Find out more about LassoFusebox at LassoFusebox.org.

All examples are based on these files.
The downloads for the examples contain code for Lasso 6 tru 9.
