Universal request_var function

Hey everyone...

So I've been trying to figure out an easier way of handling passed variables.

Until now I have been simply using $_GET or $_POST and then sanitizing the result...

I was looking through the PhpBB code and I noticed that they use a request_var(var, default..) function, to universally pass and sanitize their cookie, get and post variables...

the only problem is that I think their code is a little bit dated (php4)

does any one have or know of a simple method/function to simply, safely and universally do passed variable handing??


thanks in advance!!!

ANDREW

A simple method? No. But I have seen some pretty refined classes that handle the request. Have a look at the Solar framework. The request object in Solar is very clean and easy to use.
