@fjarrett It'd be nice if we can use `filter_input` and pass some [filters] (http://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.php) respectively according to expected content, ex:
```php
filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'ip', FILTER_VALIDATE_IP );
filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'record_parent', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT );
```
