Encapsulated and type-safe user input.
======================================

[](#encapsulated-and-type-safe-user-input)

By default, PHP stores all user input in global arrays (`$_GET`, `$_POST`, and `$_FILES`) available for reading and *modification* in any code, including third party libraries.

This library wraps user input in objects that promote encapsulation, allowing functions to be passed only the user input they require, rather than having unmitigated read/write access to everything.

Type-safe functions allow more predictable functionality, such as `$input->getFileUpload("photo")`, `$input->getDateTime("date-of-birth")`, and `$input->getMultipleString("pizza-topping")`.
