You should use the vb cleaner:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
    'ac'      => TYPE_UINT,
)); 


And then you can set it this way:

PHP Code:

$temp = $vbulletin->GPC['ac']; 


You should go read some of the articles regarding the vbulletin cleaner and making secure mods, like these - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=cleaner and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=154411
