Tired of typing if(isset($_POST['submit'] && $_POST['submit'] == 'UPDATE'))? Here is a simple class that will abstract some of that.

By : MadAlbert

<?
class req {
function get($var,$sub=False){
return (isset($_GET[$var]))? $_GET[$var]:$sub;
}
function post($var,$sub=False){
return (isset($_POST[$var]))? $_POST[$var]:$sub;
}
function request($var,$sub=False){
return (isset($_REQUEST[$var]))? $_REQUEST[$var]:$sub;
}
function server($var,$sub=False){
return (isset($_SERVER[$var]))? $_SERVER[$var]:$sub;
}
function session($var,$sub=False){
return (isset($_SESSION[$var]))? $_SESSION[$var]:$sub;
}
function getEQ($var,$eq){
return (req::get($var) == $eq)?True:False;
}
function postEQ($var,$eq){
return (req::post($var) == $eq)?True:False;
}
function requestEQ($var,$eq){
return (req::request($var) == $eq)?True:False;
}
function serverEQ($var,$eq){
return (req::server($var) == $eq)?True:False;
}
function sessionEQ($var,$eq){
return (req::session($var) == $eq)?True:False;
}
}


/*USAGE

There is no need to instanciate the class has it has no internal values to track so usage is like this:

if(req::postEQ('submit','UPDATE')){
do something;
}
if you need to see if a variable is set then use

if(req::post('submit'){
do something;
}
If you need to use the posted variable but have a replacement if it is not set then do:

$name = req::post('name','no name given');
or
$id = req::post('userid',0);

There are macros for _POST _GET _REQUEST _SERVER and _SESSION
Doing it this way you just need to include the class, I use auto prepend to do it automatically on every page.
