Req #52813 [NEW]: Filter Vars Missing Types (Update Types)

From: Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Filter Vars Missing Types (Update Types) Description: ------------ I have been through one of the filter_vars() functions and have found some attributes missing from the list... The documentation states: "Returns TRUE for "1", "true", "on" and "yes"." However I feel this needs to be extended further to allocate two more attributes to be triggered at "TRUE" there are... "T" and "Y" (T = true, Y = Yes) Test script: --------------- <?php $str = "1"; var_dump(filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)); // output: true $str = "yes"; var_dump(filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)); // output: true $str = "on"; var_dump(filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)); // output: true $str = true; var_dump(filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)); // output: true // missing (potential bug): $str = "t"; var_dump(filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)); // output: false (should be true, t = true) $str = "y"; var_dump(filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)); // output: false (should be true, y = true) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52813&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52813&r=mysqlcfg
