getElementValues()
clonefish->getElementValues() - get the values of all the form elements in an array.
Description
class clonefish {
array getElementValues( boolean $addslashes )
}
This method returns an array of element values in an associative array.
Clonefish is transparent by concept: if you rely on the magic quoting feature of PHP, you can use the following method to replace processing $_POST/$_GET/$_COOKIE/$_REQUEST arrays:
<?php
$form = new clonefish( [...] );
$form->addElements( $_POST, get_magic_quotes_gpc() );
print_r( $form->getElementValues( get_magic_quotes_gpc() );
?>
The code above will return the very same as a print_r( $_POST ); - quoted values if magic_quotes_gpc is set, and unquoted if unset.
Through the very same required parameter in addElements(), getElementValues(), setValue() and getVale() clonefish enforces building safe applications and websites.
Parameters
$addslashes
The only parameter this method requires is the $addslashes parameter. When set to TRUE, slashes will be added using the built-in addslashes() PHP function for all the values returned. When $addslashes is FALSE, no quotes are added.
Examples
<?php
$values = $clonefish->getElementValues( 0 );
print_r( $values );
?>
The output:
Array( 'name' => 'James Bond', 'id' => '007', 'language' => 'en' )
