note 103824 added to function.filter-input

Marques Johansson mentioned that this works: <?php $test = filter_input(INPUT_GET | INPUT_POST, 'test'); ?> I've just tested it and found that it doesn't: <?php // assume $_GET['a'] = 1 // assume $_POST['b'] = 2 // assume $_POST['c'] = 3 // assume $_POST['d'] = 4 $a = filter_input(INPUT_GET | INPUT_POST, 'a'); $b = filter_input(INPUT_GET | INPUT_POST, 'b'); $c = filter_input(INPUT_POST | INPUT_GET, 'c'); $d = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'd'); var_dump($a); // string(1) "1" var_dump($b); // NULL var_dump($c); // NULL var_dump($d); // string(1) "4" ?> This seems quite unpredictable behaviour, I wouldn't recommend relying on this undocumented functionality for anything.
