note 111639 added to function.filter-input

For those that aren't aware, you can use filter_input() in a one-line if() statement: <?php $_GET['ID'] = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ID', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT) ?: null; echo $_GET['ID']; ?> Assume that $_GET['ID'] = 1 - the code above would return 1 Whereas is we assume $_GET['ID'] = 1.56&someString - the code above would return null. For those wanting just a completely clean INT, wrap $_GET['ID'] in abs() and intval() <?php $_GET['ID'] = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ID', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT) ? abs(@intval($_GET['ID'])) : null; ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 82.25.95.165 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-input.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111639 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111639 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111639 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
