object to encapsulate the handling of get/post variables:
The following grab something out of $_REQUEST. The first parameter is the
variable name and is required. The second is an optional default value:
$wgRequest->getVal() - any type, returns NULL if no default given
$wgRequest->getInt() - forced integer, 0 default
$wgRequest->getText() - runs through $wgLang->recodeInput()
$wgRequest->getBool() - return true/false
$wgRequest->getCheck() - returns true if the var is set, even if to ""
$wgRequest strips slashes at initialization if necessary.
Also in this fine object:
$wgRequest->wasPosted() - returns false if this wasn't a real form post,
so we can protect against faked submissions in get urls.
There's still plenty of work to do, not everything uses the new functions
yet. To test the strict mode, do define('DEBUG_GLOBALS', 1);
* Misc. bugs fixed in DatabaseFunctions.php and Skin.php.
* install-utils, install and update utilise Database objects instead of handling their own connections
* schema change for RC improvement -- added rc_type, rc_moved_to_title and rc_moved_to_ns
execution starts and ends in wiki.phtml, giving the code a somewhat
more predictable flow.
OutputPage.php:
* Added disable() method to Output class.
* Replaced exit() call in checkLastModified() with "return true" (thereby
altering its contract quite severly).
* reportTime() now only returns elapsed time, code with side effects
moved to logProfilingData() in GlobalFunctions.php.
GlobalFunctions.php:
* Added function logProfilingData() which does most of what
OutputPage->reportTime() used to do.
Article.php:
* Replaced exit() in checkLastModified() with "return true" (thereby altering
its contract quite severly).
* replaced implicit exit in calls to checkLastModified() and tryFileCache()
with returns.
LogPage.php:
* replaced implicit exit() with return in call to checkLastModified()
SpecialRecentchanges.php:
* replaced implicit exit() with return in call to checkLastModified()
wiki.phtml:
* Single call to logProfilingData() at the end of the request.
