Is it really necessary to also filter or clean a form’s select element since the input is not actually entered by the user but rather the user selects from an already entered options?
Note form submission method is POST. Thanks for the reply.
Yes. You’re assuming that the user can’t alter it, when in reality they can. Any DOM inspector would allow a user to simply go in and change the values of your options, or even add new options. Always, always validate user input on the server-side, for everything.
