phpBB3 - using $_GET

I want to do a modification to my phpBB3 and it requires using $_GET method by grabbing a variable in the URL.

But just using $_GET increases the vulnerability to my phpBB3 wouldn't it? Is there a function in phpBB3 that would make it safer or anything?

Thanks.

Solution

  • In phpBB3 the best and the safest way to get data from requests is to use request_var() function. http://wiki.phpbb.com/display/DEV/Function.request+var
