Perhaps a php function "param(...)" ? Even though it's not always a request parameter we'll (developers) be checking, this will be true in most cases.
I don't think a function named param() really fits, but I do like the idea of adding a type check (or in the case of PHP a type cast) to the function.
$level = (int) (isset($_SESSION['level']) ? $_SESSION['level'] : (isset($_REQUEST['level']) ? $_REQUEST['level'] : 1))
becomes
$level = value($_SESSION['level'], $_REQUEST['level'], 1, INT);
Of course, I have no idea how feasible this is.
