What types of security on server side should I use when I'm sending post data with jQuery's $.ajax()?
Price estimation webapp
I'm writing simple price estimation webapp, which contains few slides with different options/parameters of desired product. As the user comes to my page, he goes through all my slides and selects which options/parameters he wants to be included. Selected options/parameters are stored by javascript in object.
On last slide I have email input with send button. In this input user writes his email adress and clicks on send button. Clicked send button has event listener which triggers jQuery $.ajax() function and sends options/parameters object with his email adress to mail.php
PHP
mail.php script on server checks with array_key_exists(options/parameters). If true then it makes pdf file with selected options/parameters of product and sends it to user email adress.
The problem - server security
The thing I'm worried about is security of this process. Can you tell me possible vulnerability of this process and how to prevent it?
Thank you

You might consider thinking about CSRF protection, since you are using jQuery, this gist might help you implement it gist.github.com/ziadoz/3454607

If you are using a DB you shall use mysql_real_escape_string() function to avoid sql injection.
