I think in your particular case they might be doing that judging by the presence of the hash at the beginning of the POST data (although that could be anything... I'm just guessing). A general way to prevent against crafted POST data is to have a session or even a page secret key. The key is hashed with the value which is then written to the (I suppose) hidden form field. When the POST data comes back it's hashed with the key and checked against the hash in the POST. So.. yes it's possible to prevent from crafting the POST data but the design is still crappy; I wouldn't do it. -- Viktor http://programming-guides.com

I actually prefer your solution - it's easier to read and understand. On the
other hand the solution the book offers has the advantage of being more
extensible in that more pieces of information can be added per city.
One thing I dont like about both solutions is that they both intertwine
computation logic with presentation. A *much* better approach in this case
is to first calculate all population data you need and put together one data
structure that has all of that. Only after you have that ready do you begin
to output HTML. And while outputting HTML the only PHP you should need is to
iterate over your data structure and output.
