Brainache....Reading class_core.php...lost...

Might be a simple answer, but I'm all sortsa confused at this point...I use the $_REQUEST['whatever'] for navigation throughout my scripts, with the new $vbulletin->GPC stuff, how EXACTLY does one run the $_REQUEST array through the cleaning and then call / assign the resulting variable? For example,http://www.whatever.com/index.php?somevariable=somevalueMy old way of doing things was simply if (empty($_REQUEST['somevariable'])){
$_REQUEST['somevariable'] = 'someothervalue';
}How would I run this example now with the $vbulletin->GPC?

Thanks in advance for any help that is given!

$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'foobar', TYPE_STR);
if($vbulletin->GPC['foobar'] == 'foobar')
{
// do smth
}


But if you are just using this for action switches, it's not worth the overhead for cleaning anway, as you are not going to process the input further.

I feel pretty certain this should be

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
'foobar' => TYPE_STR
));
if($vbulletin->GPC['foobar'] == 'foobar')
{
// do smth
}
no?

If you want to just clean 1 Variable, it does not make much sense to call clean_array_gpc() ;)
But of course you can also use this.

So here's another question....

I have a huge list of inputs, if I want these to be seen within a function, I have to list them in the global statement within the new function. With this new way of globalizing/cleaning them, can I run the clean statement and that will be readable within the function without having to declare them in the global statement since they will be in the $vbulletin object?

As the cleaned values are keys in array GPC which itself is a property of Class vB_Registry (for which an Object $vbulletin is being createded by init.php), you only have to declare $vbulletin as global.

gotcha, thanks!

r stands for _REQUEST?
p stands for _POST?

yes.
