Hello Marc, MR> I don't think a function named param() really fits, but I do like the MR> idea of adding a type check (or in the case of PHP a type cast) to the MR> function.
MR> $level = (int) (isset($_SESSION['level']) ? $_SESSION['level'] : MR> (isset($_REQUEST['level']) ? $_REQUEST['level'] : 1)) MR> becomes MR> $level = value($_SESSION['level'], $_REQUEST['level'], 1, INT); MR> Of course, I have no idea how feasible this is. MR> Marc The concept is desirable, but can be achieved if you need it just as simply using already available syntax (ie a cast): $level = (integer) value($_SESSION['level'], 1); -- Best regards, Jason mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
