输入表单检查$ _POST或$ _GET数组[关闭]

public function get($item) {
    if (isset($_POST[$item]) && $_POST[$item] != '') {
        $_POST[$item] = filter_var($_POST[$item],FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
        if(is_numeric($_POST[$item])) {
            return (int)$_POST[$item];
        }
        return $_POST[$item];
    }else if (isset($_GET[$item]) && $_GET[$item] != '') {
              $_GET[$item] = filter_var($_GET[$item],FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
        if(is_numeric($_GET[$item])) {
            return (int)$_GET[$item];
        }
        return $_GET[$item];
    }
    return '';
}

Is there a way I can make this more efficient? And/Or can you help me improve this code? I want to check if there is value into the $_GET / $_POST array. And filter all the evil input from a bad user.

Use $_REQUEST which contains both POST and GET variables.

public function get($item) {
    if (!empty($_REQUEST[$item])) {
        $_REQUEST[$item] = filter_var($_REQUEST[$item], FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);

        return is_numeric($_REQUEST[$item]) ? (int) $_REQUEST[$item] : $_REQUEST[$item];
    }
    return '';
}
