Hey, I like that class. I have something like that in a bit of a scattered procedural form. Thought about turning it into a class, after seeing your first reply and thinking about my own project.

One question though, if you'll humor me.

Why write this instead of the equivalent shorthand? Is the first faster, and if so why?

PHP Code:


			
    function get($var)

    {

        // This

        $var = $_GET[$var];

        $var = $this->sql_safe($var);

        return $var;

        // versus this

        return $this->sql_safe($_GET[$var]);

    }
