Input filtering does not solve the problem ifsetor() is designed to solve. It tackles a small part of it, but ifsetor() is a general purpose construct that is used for $_GET, $_POST, as well as ANY OTHER array element or variable in your script. $x = ifsetor($somearray[$foo][$bar], 0); Is a lot cleaner than: $x = isset($somearray[$foo][$bar]) ? $somearray[$foo][$bar] : 0; -- ifsetor()'s purpose is simple and clear: To return a variable value if it exists or a default value if it does not exist WITHOUT generating any error.
