Comments on: Data filtering with PHP’s Filter extension http://robertbasic.com/blog/data-filtering-with-php-filter-extension/ the magic of coding... Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:22:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dude http://robertbasic.com/blog/data-filtering-with-php-filter-extension/#comment-3122 Dude Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:50:23 +0000 http://robertbasic.com/blog/?p=439#comment-3122 I agree with the lack of convenience these constants create - like many PHP users, I'm always on the look for cleaner, more consistent ways to filter user input. It's nice to see at least some standardization in the library. Anyway, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL doesn't check that a top-level domain (.net, .com, .org, etc) exists after the @ - so bob@website will validate as a proper email address (tested on PHP 5.2.9). For better control, use regular expressions.

Thanks to this post maybe more coders and programmers will take advantage of this nice security feature of PHP (or even better, encourage more people to use PHP to begin with).

Can make lots of strip_tags etc. a thing of the past. While the url filter is a bit iffy (reportedly it’s just a parse_url check) it is a very useful extension to have.
