Hi all!
There is some discussion on a recent bug report[1] about filter_input()
and related functionality. The bug report had been closed, because this
functionality has already been added to the general deprecation RFC for
PHP 8.5[2]. Then the OP raised a point regarding the usefulness of
filter_input() to get at the original input, to avoid working with
possibly modified superglobals.
In my opinion, this topic should be discussed here, and not in a bug
report. So, has anybody thoughts about the filter_input() deprecation?
