Hi,

I'm pentesting a web site and i get the following
error message while using a single quote: ex.
/confirm.php?conf='test123

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a
valid MySQL result resource in /xx/xx/confirm.php on
line 5


[...snip]


And how do we fix this vulnerability ? Besides the PHP
code itself (sanitize user input), is it a PHP setting
(php.ini) ?


You might also want to set display_errors = Off in php.ini.
