You -do it like this: - -$allowed = array('b' => array(), - 'i' => array(), - 'a' => array('href' => - array('maxlen' => 100), - 'title' => 1), - 'p' => array('align' => 1), - 'font' => array('size' => - array('maxval' => 20)), - 'br' => array()); - -This means that kses should perform the maxlen check with the value 100 on the - value, as well as the maxval check with the value 20 on the value. - -The currently implemented checks (with more to come) are 'maxlen', 'maxval', -'minlen', 'minval' and 'valueless'. - -'maxlen' checks that the length of the attribute value is not greater than the -given value.

In -my example above, it would mean that "" is accepted but -"" is not. This check helps against Denial of Service attacks -against WWW clients. - -One example of this DoS problem is
