+ * the variable $vaule.
*
- * If $search is not provided, or if it is SQ_INORDER, it will search $_SESSION,
- * then $_POST, then $_GET. If $search is SQ_FORM it will search $_POST and
- * $_GET. Otherwise, use one of the defined constants to look for a var in one

+ * $search must be one of the defined constants below. The default is

*
- * Note: $search is an int value equal to one of the constants defined above.
+ * SQ_INORDER searches $_SESSION, then $_POST, and then $_GET.
+ * SQ_FORM searches $_POST and then $_GET.
+ * SQ_COOKIE searches $_COOKIE only.
+ * SQ_GET searches $_GET only.
+ * SQ_POST searches $_POST only.
+ * SQ_SERVER searches $_SERVER only.
+ * SQ_SESSION searches $_SESSION only.
*
* Example:
- * sqgetGlobalVar('username',$username,SQ_SESSION);
- * // No quotes around last param, it's a constant - not a string!
+ * sqgetGlobalVar('username', $username, SQ_SESSION);
+ * // No quotes around the last parameter, it's a constant - not a string!
*
* @param string name the name of the var to search
* @param mixed value the variable to return
*
* @return bool whether variable is found.
