filter_input_array()

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7)

获取一系列外部变量，并且可以通过过滤器处理它们

说明

这个函数当需要获取很多变量却不想重复调用filter_input()时很有用。

参数

INPUT_GET,INPUT_POST,INPUT_COOKIE,INPUT_SERVER,orINPUT_ENV之一。

一个定义参数的数组。一个有效的键必须是一个包含变量名的string，一个有效的值要么是一个filter type，或者是一个array指明了过滤器、标示和选项。如果值是一个数组，那么它的有效的键可以是filter，用于指明filter type，flags用于指明任何想要用于过滤器的标示，或者options用于指明任何想要用于过滤器的选项。参考下面的例子来更好的理解这段说明。

这个参数也可以是一个filter constant的整数。那么数组中的所有变量都会被这个过滤器所过滤。

在返回值中添加NULL作为不存在的键。

返回值

如果成功的话返回一个所请求的变量的数组，如果失败的话返回FALSE。对于数组的值，如果过滤失败则返回FALSE，如果$variable_name不存在的话则返回NULL。如果标示FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE被使用了，那么当变量不存在时返回FALSE，当过滤失败时返回NULL。

范例

一个filter_input_array()的例子

以上例程会输出：

array(6) {
  ["product_id"]=>
  string(17) "libgd%3Cscript%3E"
  ["component"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    int(10)
  }
  ["versions"]=>
  string(6) "2.0.33"
  ["doesnotexist"]=>
  NULL
  ["testscalar"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["testarray"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    int(2)
  }
}

更新日志

注释

在INPUT_SERVER数组中并没有REQUEST_TIME，因为它是被稍后插入到$_SERVER中的。

Note that although you can provide a default filter for the entire input array there is no way to provide a flag for that filter without building the entire definition array yourself.
So here is a small function that can alleviate this hassle!

[New Version]
This function is very useful for filtering complicated array structure.
Also, Some integer bitmasks and invalid UTF-8 sequence detection are available.
Code:

Example Usage:

Example Result:
array(3) {
 ["A"]=>
 array(4) {
  ["a"]=>
  string(36) " CORRECT(including some spaces)  "
  ["b"]=>
  string(30) "CORRECT(including some spaces)"
  ["c"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["d"]=>
  string(0) ""
 }
 ["B"]=>
 array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  string(36) " CORRECT(including some spaces)  "
  ["b"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["c"]=>
  string(0) ""
 }
 ["C"]=>
 array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  string(30) "CORRECT(including some spaces)"
  ["b"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["c"]=>
  string(0) ""
 }
}

This function is very useful for filtering complicated array structure.
Code:

Sample Usage:

Sample Result:
array(2) {
 ["a"]=>
 string(21) "DEFAULT"
 ["b"]=>
 array(2) {
  ["c"]=>
  string(12) "CORRECT"
  ["d"]=>
  string(21) "DEFAULT"
 }
}

Beware: if none of the arguments is set, this function returns NULL, not an array of NULL values.
/* No POST vars set in request
$_POST = array();
*/
$args = array('some_post_var' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
$myinputs = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, $args);
var_dump($myinputs);
Expected Output: array(1) { ["some_post_var"]=> NULL } 
Actual Output: NULL

If you are trying to handling multiple form inputs with same name, then you must assign the `'flags' => FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY` to the definitions entry.
Example, you have a html form as such:

 
 

Your definitions array will look a little like this:
$args = array(
 't1'  => array(
   'name' => 't1',
   'filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,
   'flags' => FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY)
);

Looks like filter_input_array isn't aware of changes to the input arrays that were made before calling filter_input_array. Instead, it always looks at the originally submitted input arrays.
So this will not work:
$_POST['my_float_field'] = str_replace(',','.',$_POST['my_float_field']);
$args = array('my_float_field',FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT);
$result = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, $args);

While filtering input arrays, be careful of what flags you set besides FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY. For example, setting the flags like so:

.. will result in a blank $form_inputs['myInputArr'] regardless of what $_POST['myInputArr'] contains.

The above example raises other questions such as how one would validate an html array. In the input form each input tag that refers to an html array would be named for example testarray[]. However, after the form is submitted, the syntax for validating the values is different from the expected $_POST['testarray[]']. Instead one has to drop the braces and validate as follows, assuming that testarray[] is supposed to be an html array of numerical values:
Valid test:
echo '*';
echo filter_input(
INPUT_POST,
'testarray',
FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY
);
echo '*';
But the following is an invalid test that results in 2 consequtive asterisks only!
echo '*';
echo filter_input(INPUT_POST,
'testarray[]',
FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY
);
echo '*';
So, there is a naming inconsistency going on, as after the form is submitted, one has to forget about the original name of the submitted array by dropping its braces. Maybe when the PECL/Filter extension is reviewed again, the great ones might consider making the syntax a little more forgiving.

This is not specific to filter_input. If you have an element in HTML called names[], it can be accessed by calling $_POST['names'].

The above example will actually output "NULL" because of the undefined variable doesnotexist - see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42608.

extract() is a very convenient way of copying all those variables to the local scope. (see http://www.php.net/extract)
