The only problem is that this is an extension so it would probably have a few functions:
filter_input()
filter_validate()
filter_foobar()
Maybe we were only discussing one method but it's likely for others to follow.
I thinks safe_* is a bit general but then again, although naming is the hardest part of computer science, what the extension does is the most important part :)

I think as far as the filter functions are concerned this is a good way to go (although I'd change the function name but that's no biggy, filter_input?). I very much see how filter_input(POST, "email", FILTER_EMAIL) is easier as opposed to finding the right regex for emails and it's great re-use.Yeah, I really don't care what the name of the function is. Wanted to try to keep it somewhat short since it might need to be typed a lot.
