/**
* Get some input from variables passed on the GET or POST line.
*
+ * If using any data obtained from get_input() in a web page, please be aware that
+ * it is a possible vector for a reflected XSS attack. If you are expecting an
+ * integer, cast it to an int. If it is a string, escape quotes.
+ *
* Note: this function does not handle nested arrays (ex: form input of param[m][n])
* because of the filtering done in htmlawed from the filter_tags call.
+ * @todo Is this ^ still?
*
* @param string $variable The variable we want to return.
* @param mixed $default A default value for the variable if it is not found.
