Note Submitter: moochm@gmail ---- When using a php script like a remote function call, I find something like this useful for setting default parameters. <?php /** /* combine _GET _POST _COOKIE variables with provided default values /* defaults - associative array of default values /* overwrite - if true, write result to _REQUEST superglobal /* super_globals - array of super globals to fetch values from **/ function get_params($defaults = null, $overwrite = false, $super_globals = array('_GET', '_POST', '_COOKIE')) { $ret = array(); // fetch values from request foreach($super_globals as $sg) foreach($GLOBALS[$sg] as $k=>$v) $ret[$k] = $v; // apply defaults for missing parameters if($defaults) foreach($defaults as $k=>$v) if(!isset($ret[$k])) $ret[$k] = $v; if($overwrite) $_REQUEST = $ret; return $ret; } // Example: page.php?style=modern $argv = get_params(array('id'=>42, 'style'=>'medieval')); // $argv['id'] = 42 // $argv['style'] = 'modern' ?>
