I was looking over the output of phpfilter() and say the following:
Input Validation and Filtering    enabled

I did recently (very recently) upgrade from php 5.2.5 to 5.2.9 and also upgraded my php pear to 1.7.2 (from whatever CentOS 5.2 had) - but I don't think pear stuff is shown in phpinfo() I don't recall seeing that before. Is it new, and is it worth looking into using it in place of (or in addition to) HTML Purifier?

Nevermind - I found the php manual for it. It has some useful stuff - IE FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL and FILTER_VALIDATE_INT that will reduce some of my code.
