When not working within my framework (which facilitates this
automatically), I tend to have a function for each just to save time:
function g($key){
return isset($_GET[$key]) ? $_GET[$key] : null;
}
function p($key){
return isset($_POST[$key]) ? $_POST[$key] : null;
}
function c($key){
return isset($_COOKIE[$key]) ? $_COOKIE[$key] : null;
}
function s($key, $val = null){
!isset($_SESSION) && session_start();
if ($val === null) {
return isset($_SESSION[$key]) ? $_SESSION[$key] : null;
} else {
return $_SESSION[$key] = $val;
}
}
Then, you can just write:
$first_name = s('first_name', p('first_name'));
