[edit] WebRequest
The WebRequest class which encapsulates getting at data passed in the URL or via a POSTed form, handling remove of "magic quotes" slashes, stripping illegal input characters and normalizing Unicode sequences. A global instance of this class is available in $wgRequest. You should not create an other instance of this class, instead, use FauxRequest.
[edit] Functions
- function getVal: get a scalar or null if the parameter was not passed.
- function getInt: same as before, but the value returned is an integer.
- function getBool: same as getVal, but returns a boolean value
- function getArray: get an array or null if the parameter was not passed. If the parameter is a scalar, it will return an array with a single element.
- function getCheck: return a boolean whether the parameter was passed, this is useful for checkboxes.
