System:Params
From Aspen Documentation
For full public method documentation, see the API Manual.
The Params class acts as a wrapper to the PHP superglobals. Each function allows you pass the first argument as an index name and the second argument as a default value. Aspen uses a class called Inspekt as it's superglobal handler.
For example, calling:
$var = $_GET['myvalue'];
Produces a wide range of issues. You need to add in logic checking that the array index exists, and that contents are safe.
The Inspekt class provides a method to access the same data, but it adds those layers of logic around each call.
Using the class would be as simple as:
$var = $this->APP->params->get->getAlnum('myvalue');
The possible methods include wrappers for the following:
- GET
- POST
- SESSION
- COOKIE
- SERVER
- ENV
