Doc #62286 [NEW]: Description of variable_name parameter

From: randallfstewart at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.3.13 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Description of variable_name parameter Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.filter-input#refsect1-function.filter-input-parameters --- Documentation suggestion: 1. This parameter doesn't really seem to be the "variable name" as stated by the documentation. Wouldn't the variable name be "$_POST['key']" (or something similar)? 2. It seems that this parameter is really the KEY to the entry of the superglobal array (specified by the "type" parameter) that is to be filtered. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62286&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62286&r=mysqlcfg
