I have inherited some old legacy code that down and dirty uses $_REQUEST
to universally grab all varibales from combined GET and/or POST form
submissions.
So I want to be equally blunt and directly chop up and massage $_REQUEST
before any code handles it.
I want to have an array of acceptable "white list" $_REQUEST variable
names I am looking for, allow those to remain in the $_REQUEST array,
but I want all other $_REQUEST variables removed/destroyed out of
$_REQUEST.
Then simply allow the the remaining "white list" $_REQUEST to flow into
the code.
So, for example I want to do something really short like so:
$whitelist_var_names = array('name', 'address', 'phone');
$_REQUEST = array_intersect_assoc($whitelist_var_names, $_REQUEST);
Can anyone give me a really short code burst, or isolate the proper
array function(s) that will do this for me?
Thank you one and all, if you can help.
Warmest regards,
