\JRequest

JRequest Class

This class serves to provide the Joomla Platform with a common interface to access
request variables. This includes $_POST, $_GET, and naturally $_REQUEST. Variables
can be passed through an input filter to avoid injection or returned raw.

• _cleanVar() — Clean up an input variable.

• checkToken() — Checks for a form token in the request.
• get() — Fetches and returns a request array.

• getMethod() — Gets the request method.
• getString() — Fetches and returns a given filtered variable. The string filter deletes 'bad' HTML code, if not overridden by the mask.
• getUInt() — Fetches and returns a given filtered variable. The unsigned integer filter will allow only digits to be returned. This is currently only a proxy function for getVar().
• getURI() — Gets the full request path.
• getVar() — Fetches and returns a given variable.
• getWord() — Fetches and returns a given filtered variable. The word filter only allows the characters [A-Za-z_]. This is currently only a proxy function for getVar().
