Código PHP:
function getValue(&$array, $name, $default=null, $type='')
{
// Initialize variables
$result = null;
if (isset ($array[$name])) {
$result = $array[$name];
}
// Handle the default case
if (is_null($result)) {
$result = $default;
}
// Handle the type constraint
switch (strtoupper($type))
{
case 'INT' :
case 'INTEGER' :
// Only use the first integer value
@ preg_match('/-?[0-9]+/', $result, $matches);
$result = @ (int) $matches[0];
break;
case 'FLOAT' :
case 'DOUBLE' :
// Only use the first floating point value
@ preg_match('/-?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?/', $result, $matches);
$result = @ (float) $matches[0];
break;
case 'BOOL' :
case 'BOOLEAN' :
$result = (bool) $result;
break;
case 'ARRAY' :
if (!is_array($result)) {
$result = array ($result);
}
break;
case 'STRING' :
$result = (string) $result;
break;
case 'WORD' :
$result = (string) preg_replace( '#\W#', '', $result );
break;
case 'NONE' :
default :
// No casting necessary
break;
}
return $result;
}
