Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-18 13:18:14] philip@php.net Was it once going to work with arrays but then filter_var_array() was created instead? This seems to be the case, and your code example confirms it ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-18 11:46:27] lsmith@php.net Description: ------------ The documentation for filter_var (http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php) implies that array's are filtered recursively: "Value to filter, arrays are filtered recursively." However passing any array returns false Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(filter_var_array(array('foo', array('bar')), FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW)); Expected result: ---------------- array 0 => string 'foo' (length=3) 1 => array 0 => string 'bar' (length=3) Actual result: -------------- false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43018&edit=1
