Methods[edit]
getArray[edit]
static array WebRequest::getArray( $name, $default = null )
- Description
Fetch an array from the input or return $default if it's not set. If source was scalar, will return an array with a single element. If no source and no default, returns NULL.
getBool[edit]
static bool WebRequest::getBool( $name, $default = false )
- Description
Fetch a boolean value from the input or return $default if not set. Guaranteed to return true or false, with normal PHP semantics for boolean interpretation of strings.
getCheck[edit]
static bool WebRequest::getCheck( $name )
- Description
Return true if the named value is set in the input, whatever that value is (even "0"). Return false if the named value is not set. Example use is checking for the presence of check boxes in forms.
getCookie[edit]
static mixed WebRequest::getCookie( $key, $default = null )
- Description
Get a cookie from the $_COOKIE jar.
- Note: This function always use
ext.phptags.prefix with $key
getInt[edit]
static int WebRequest::getInt( $key, $default = 0 )
- Description
Fetch an integer value from the input or return $default if not set. Guaranteed to return an integer; non-numeric input will typically return 0.
getText[edit]
static string WebRequest::getText( $name, $default = '' )
- Description
Fetch a text string from the given array or return $default if it's not set. Carriage returns are stripped from the text, and with some language modules there is an input transliteration applied. This should generally be used for form "<textarea>" and "<input>" fields. Used for user-supplied freeform text input.
getVal[edit]
static mixed WebRequest::getVal( $name, $default = null )
- Description
Fetch a scalar from the input or return $default if it's not set. Returns a string. Arrays are discarded. Useful for non-freeform text inputs (e.g. predefined internal text keys selected by a drop-down menu). For freeform input, see getText().
getValues[edit]
static bool WebRequest::getValues( ... )
- Description
Extracts the given named values into an array. If no arguments are given, returns all input values.
wasPosted[edit]
static bool WebRequest::wasPosted()
- Description
Returns true if the present request was reached by a POST operation, false otherwise (GET or HEAD).
