filter

Extension for safely dealing with input parameters. Note: This extension is now part of PHP Core, so use it instead of this outdated PECL version (as of PHP 5.2.0).


The Input Filter extension is meant to address this issue by implementing a set
of filters and mechanisms that users can use to safely access their input data.
