I have a snippet of mysql which is filled in with two variables:

SELECT `download` FROM `images` WHERE `owner_un`='$owner' AND `url`='$url'

The $url variable comes directly from a URL variable. This input should only ever contain alphanumeric characters, if this helps.

Thanks for any help

Good points. A developer magazine told me "Assume all users are hacking your site", good advice!
