string	$context:	Context: "posting", "xmlrpc_posting" or "commenting"
integer	$autobr:	Create automated tags?

memorize_param [line 1181]

void memorize_param(
string $var, string $type, mixed $default, [mixed $value = NULL] 
)

Set a param (global) & Memorize it for automatic future use in regenerate_url()

mixed	$default:	Default value to compare to when regenerating url
mixed	$value:	Value to set

param [line 76]

mixed param(
string $var, [string $type = ''], [mixed $default = ''], [boolean $memorize = false], [boolean $override = false], [boolean $use_default = true], [mixed $strict_typing = 'allow_empty'] 
)

Sets a parameter with values from the request or to provided default, except if param is already set!

Also removes magic quotes if they are set automatically by PHP. Also forces type. Priority order: POST, GET, COOKIE, DEFAULT.

Parameters:

string	$var:	Variable to set
string	$type:	Force value type to one of: integer float, double string (strips (HTML-)Tags, trims whitespace) array (TODO: array/integer , array/array/string ) html (does nothing) '' (does nothing) '/^...$/' check regexp pattern match (string) boolean (will force type to boolean, but you can't use 'true' as a default since it has special meaning. There is no real reason to pass booleans on a URL though. Passing 0 and 1 as integers seems to be best practice). Value type will be forced only if resulting value (probably from default then) is !== NULL
mixed	$default:	Default value or TRUE if user input required
boolean	$memorize:	Do we need to memorize this to regenerate the URL for this page?
boolean	$override:	Override if variable already set
boolean	$use_default:	Force setting of variable to default if no param is sent and var wasn't set before
mixed	$strict_typing:	true will refuse illegal values, false will try to convert illegal to legal values, 'allow_empty' will refuse illegal values but will always accept empty values (This helps blocking dirty spambots or borked index bots. Saves a lot of processor time by killing invalid requests)

API Tags:

Return:	Final value of Variable, or false if we don't force setting and did not set
Usedby:	param_cookie()

[ Top ]

param_action [line 319]

string param_action(
[mixed $default = ''], [ $memorize = false] 
)

Get the action from params.

If we got no "action" param, we'll check for an "actionArray" param ( <input type="submit" name="actionArray[real_action]" ...> ). And the real $action will be found in the first key... When there are multiple submit buttons, this is smarter than checking the value which is a translated string. When there is an image button, this allows to work around IE not sending the value (it only sends X & Y coords of the click).

Parameters:

mixed	$default:	Default to use.
	$memorize:

param_arrayindex [line 286]
