Universal request_var function
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 3:15 pm
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!!!
