If you are consuming any feeds from other sources it would be a good idea to put these through a validation process as well to guard against malicious code that was inserted into someone elses site. There are 2 main kinds of attacks that we can fall prey to with user inputed data. The first can cause a security breach on our server and allow unsafe code to be executed.
This can result in information being stollen, deleted, or otherwise compromised. The second issue can arise with user inputed data that is displayed somewhere on our site for other visitors to see.
This data can have javascript inserted into them that can compromise the security of our visitors systems and it would appear the attack came from our site. This kind of attack can come from forum, article, or even comment insertion forms. All of the issues with user input can be solved by validating the data that they input. Sometimes these methods are called "Cleaning", or "Sanitizing" the input.
This function will accept a string and remove all characters except alphanumeric and spaces.
This would tend to wreck havock on articles, or forum submission where a lack of punctuation could be looked at as bad form. The great thing about this function is all you have to do is add the characters into the Regular Expression match that you want to allow and all other characters will be removed. Once you have your data all nice and shiny you can validate the content with the validateInput(str, vType) function.
