filter_var

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0)

filter_var — Filtre une variable avec un filtre spécifique

Description

mixed filter_var ( mixed $variable [, int $filter= FILTER_DEFAULT [, mixed $options ]] )

Liste de paramètres

variable: Valeur à filtrer.
filter: Identifiant du filtre à utiliser. Par défaut, vaut FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING.
options: Tableau associatif d'options ou des drapeaux. Si le filtre accepte les options, les drapeaux peuvent être fournis dans le champ "flags" du tableau. Pour les fonctions de rappel, le type callback devra être passé.

Valeurs de retour

Retourne les données filtrées, ou FALSE si le filtre échoue.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec filter_var()


<?php
var_dump(filter_var('bob@example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));
var_dump(filter_var('example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED));
?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

string(15) "bob@example.com"
bool(false)

Notice that filter_var with FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL does not work if you are trying to get a String from an XML document e.g. via xpath. 



I often use XML files as configuration files and use a function that returns a string from the config file via xpath. While this worked fine before 5.2.11, it doesn't anymore (and shouldn't, since it's an XML Element, not a String). 



To overcome this problem, $variable can be type-casted:



<?php

$variable = fancyXmlGetFunction('from');

filter_var((String) $variable, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

?>

If PHP >= 5.2 is not present, you can use the regular expression of the original PHP-c-file:





http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/ext/filter/logical_filters.c





Instead of:


<?php filter_var('bob@example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)); ?>





Just use preg_match(); with a copy of the original regular expression (found in the void "php_filter_validate_email") in logical_filters.c





in fact, this expression (and the original filter-funktion) ignores RFC 5321 (Section 4.5.3.1. Size Limits and Minimums).

How to pass options and flags-

Just a little filter to validate IP v4 & v6

This little script display result in function of the query

<?php

$ipv6="2a01:e35:aaa4:6860:a5e7:5ba9:965e:cc93";

$ipv4="82.237.3.3";

$fake = "3342423423";

$ipv4priv = "255.255.255.255";

$ipv6priv = "::1";

echo "<pre>";

echo $ipv4;

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($ipv4,FILTER_VALIDATE_IP));

echo "<br />";

echo $ipv6;

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($ipv6,FILTER_VALIDATE_IP));

echo "<br />";

echo $fake;

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($fake,FILTER_VALIDATE_IP));

echo "<br />";

echo $ipv4priv;

echo "<br/>";

echo "FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE";

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($ipv4priv,FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE));

echo "<br />";

echo $ipv4priv;

echo "<br/>";

echo "FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE";

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($ipv4priv,FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE));

echo "<br />";

echo $ipv6priv;

echo "<br/>";

echo "FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE";

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($ipv6priv,FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE));

echo "<br />";

echo $ipv6priv;

echo "<br />";

var_dump(filter_var($ipv6priv,FILTER_VALIDATE_IP));



echo "</pre>";

Here's an actual example of the filter syntax with a flag since there doesn't appear to be a one liner for this anywhere:



'hours' => array('filter'=>FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT, 'flags' => FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION, 'options'=> '.')

Note that when using FILTER_VALIDATE_INT along with the FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_HEX flag, the string "2f", for example, is not validated successfully, because you must use the "0x" prefix, otherwise, it treats the data as base 10.



The range options are also smart enough to recognize when the boundaries are exceeded in different bases.



Here's an example:



<?php



$foo = '256';

$bar = '0x100';

var_dump(validate_int($foo)); // false, too large

var_dump(validate_int($bar)); // false, too large



function validate_int($input)

{

  return filter_var(

    $input,

    FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,



    // We must pass an associative array

    // to include the range check options.

    array(

      'flags'   => FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_HEX,

      'options' => array('min_range' => 1, 'max_range' => 0xff)

    )

  );

}



?>

Here are the other possible flags that you can use:

Here is how to use multiple flags (for those who learn better by example, like me):



<?php

echo "|asdf".chr(9).chr(128)."_123|";

echo "\n";

// "bitwise conjunction" means logic OR / bitwise |

echo filter_var("|asdf".chr(9).chr(128)."_123\n|" ,FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW | FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH);



/*

Results:

|asdf    �_123|

|asdf_123|

*/

?>

Using the FILTER_CALLBACK requires an array to be passed as the options:



<?php

function toDash($x){

   return str_replace("_","-",$x);

} 



echo filter_var("asdf_123",FILTER_CALLBACK,array("options"=>"toDash"));

// returns 'asdf-123'

?>

I managed to get this to work with PHP 5.1.6 on CentOS 5 with minor difficulty.



1) Download the PECL filter package

2) Extract the tarball

3) phpize the directory

4) ./configure

5) make

6) filter-0.11.0/logical_filters.c:25:31: error: ext/pcre/php_pcre.h: No such file or directory

7) find / -name php_pcre.h

8) Make sure php-devel is installed

9) Edit filter-0.11.0/logical_filters.c and replace "ext/pcre/php_pcre.h" with the absolute path of php_pcre.h

10) make

11) make install

12) add "extension=filter.so" to php.ini

13) Restart Apache
