Please load the "filter" extension, not Apache's mod_filter.

I checked and these also get "Fatal error: Call to undefined function"
on 5.2.6 with phpinfo saying mod_filter is loaded

filter_var_array() 
filter_input() 
filter_input_array()

I forgot to mention, phpinfo says "mod_filter" is loaded.

Description:
------------
I take the sample code directly from your website.  This is not the
first time sample code from it has not worked.

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php

I have the latest PHP version, 5.2.6


I use "var_dump(filter_var('bob@example.com',
FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));"

Exactly what your website says.


PHP 5.2.6 says "Fatal error: Call to undefined function filter_var()"

I googled it and the old reason it should do that is on older PHP
versions.  But mine is 5.2.6.



PS: I've had to so far do 20 tries to read your captcha and your site
made me confirm this a million times, each time having to read a new
one.  I think I should buy captcha-reading software from that Chinese
website as it reads better than humans.

Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(filter_var('bob@example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));

Expected result:
----------------
What it says at http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php



Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function filter_var() in
/usr/local/www/[my website name removed]/www/register.php on line 172

[my website name removed] = I'd rather not post my website's name until
it's ready to open.
