Thanks Mickster and MorningZ! :)
Gonna read up on those articles and functions tonight and give it a
shot! :)
I know its terrible practice but laziness always made me return AJAX
requests as CSV strings that i'd then explode and access the array's
indices (since i know in what order the values come)
But yeah, terrible, i know....
I'm working on implementing JSON as the standard for my AJAX stuff
which will not only make my code more buzzword-compliant but secure :)
and yeah im aware that JSON isn't the magic solution to ajax security
but it sure as hell beats plain-text! :)
