Detailed Description

The WebRequest class encapsulates getting at data passed in the URL or via a POSTed form, handling remove of "magic quotes" slashes, stripping illegal input characters and normalizing Unicode sequences.

Usually this is used via a global singleton, $wgRequest. You should not create a second WebRequest object; make a FauxRequest object if you want to pass arbitrary data to some function in place of the web input.

Member Function Documentation

Take an arbitrary query and rewrite the present URL to include it.

Parameters:
string$queryquery string fragment; do not include initial '?'
Returns:
String

Definition at line 722 of file WebRequest.php.

WebRequest::appendQueryArray ( array,
onlyquery = false 
)

Appends or replaces value of query variables.

Parameters:
array$arrayof values to replace/add to query
bool$onlyquerywhether to only return the query string and not the complete URL
Returns:
String

Definition at line 755 of file WebRequest.php.

WebRequest::appendQueryValue ( key,
value,
onlyquery = false 
)
Parameters:
$key
$value
$onlyquerybool
Returns:
String

Definition at line 743 of file WebRequest.php.

If magic_quotes_gpc option is on, run the global arrays through fix_magic_quotes to strip out the stupid slashes.

WARNING: This should only be done once! Running a second time could damage the values.

Definition at line 291 of file WebRequest.php.

Referenced by __construct().

Returns true if there is a session cookie set.

This does not necessarily mean that the user is logged in!

If you want to check for an open session, use session_id() instead; that will also tell you if the session was opened during the current request (in which case the cookie will be sent back to the client at the end of the script run).

Returns:
Boolean

Reimplemented in DerivativeRequest, and FauxRequest.

Definition at line 640 of file WebRequest.php.

If the request can't be allowed, show an error message or redirect to a safer URL. Returns true if the URL is OK, and false if an error message has been shown and the request should be aborted.

Tries to use the REQUEST_URI data if available and parses it according to the wiki's configuration looking for any known pattern.

If the REQUEST_URI is not provided we'll fall back on the PATH_INFO provided by the server if any and use that to set a 'title' parameter.
