note 111137 added to function.filter-var

seems this function implies false security to some coders.... this function accepts also totally invalid urls. so you should really not believe in it. the regex in source is also weird and seems to accept almost everything. this function is almost useless to check for valid urls, esp. userinput! i wonder how many sites will get hacked where coders believe in php internal check 'features'. check comment #3 to get an idea of whats possible :) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 79.216.196.159 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111137 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111137 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111137 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
