The intention of the filter extension was to pre-clean **all** data coming into the superglobals through these filters, and then access the raw (but checked/filtered) data through the extensions filter_get() and friends methods. Removing these defaults cripled the extension. If anything, that deprecation ought to be undone, before the extension gets refreshed. cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://xdebug.cloud Author of Xdebug.
