Q: What is SQL injection and how do you prevent it?

Short answer: s data, not executable code. - Example in MySQL (using PDO in PHP) $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username AND password = :password'); $stmt->execute(['username' => $username, 'password' => $password]); ● Input Validation: Always validate user input by checking for expected data types, lengths, and ranges. s data, not…… executable code. - Example in MySQL (using PDO in PHP) $stmt =… Explain a bit more $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username AND password = :password'); $stmt->execute(['username' => $username, 'password' => $password]); ● Input Validation: Always validate user input by checking for expected data types, lengths, and ranges.
