JRequest
JRequest Class
This class serves to provide the Joomla Framework 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.
The concept and implementation of this class is inspired by the binary cloud environment package. <http://www.binarycloud.com/>

Utility method to clean a string variable using input filters

Fetches and returns a given variable.
The default behaviour is fetching variables depending on the current request method: GET and HEAD will result in returning an entry from $_GET, POST and PUT will result in returning an entry from $_POST.
You can force the source by setting the $hash parameter:
post $_POST get $_GET files $_FILES method via current $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] default via default order (GET, POST, FILE)
- string $name: Variable name
- string $default: Default value if the variable does not exist
- string $hash: Where the var should come from (POST, GET, FILES, METHOD)
- string $type: Return type for the variable (INT, FLOAT, STRING, BOOLEAN, ARRAY)
- int $mask: Filter mask for the variable
