[phoenix-dev] Using HTTP GET and POST parameters
|
Folks,
We had an issue with PHP5 (and PHP4, actually) when reading HTTP
parameters. Most of our code looks something like this:
$_mirror_id = $_GET['mirror_id'] ? $_GET['mirror_id'] : $_POST['mirror_id'];
Although this is not necessarily an error, it's bad programming in that
we don't check to see if the actual value exists in the $_GET or $_POST
array, which would lead to a PHP warning.
I have added a function to the App class called getHTTPParameter(). This
function will properly return the value of the requested parameter, or
the empty string. Please use this class when fetching GET and POST
parameters. I will update the wiki page with this documentation soon,
but here is how it's used:
$_mirror_id = $App->getHTTPParameter("mirror_id"); // GET or POST if available, POST if both are defined
$_mirror_id = $App->getHTTPParameter("mirror_id", "GET");
$_mirror_id = $App->getHTTPParameter("mirror_id", "POST");
