filter_input_array

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

filter_input_array获取一系列外部变量,并且可以通过过滤器处理它们

说明

filter_input_array(int $type, array|int $options = FILTER_DEFAULT, bool $add_empty = true): array|false|null

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

type
INPUT_* 常量之一。
警告

在用户对超全局变量进行任何修改之前,正在过滤的超全局变量内容是 SAPI 提供的“原始”内容。要过滤修改后的超全局变量,请使用 filter_var_array()

options
要么是选项的关联 array,要么是应用于每个条目的过滤器,可以是使用 FILTER_VALIDATE_* 常量的验证过滤器,也可以是使用 FILTER_SANITIZE_* 常量的清理过滤器。 选项数组是关联数组,其中 key 对应于数据 array 中的键,而关联的值要么是应用于该条目的过滤器,要么是描述如何以及应用哪个过滤器到该条目的关联数组。 描述如何应用过滤器的关联数组必须包含 'filter' key,其关联的值是要应用的过滤器,FILTER_VALIDATE_*FILTER_SANITIZE_*FILTER_UNSAFE_RAWFILTER_CALLBACK 常量之一。还可以选择性地包含 'flags' key,用于指定适用于过滤器的 flag,以及 'options' key,用于指定适用于过滤器的任何选项。
add_empty

为缺失的 key 添加 null 到返回值中。

返回值

成功时,返回 array,包含所请求变量的值。

失败时返回 false。有一个失败的例外情况,就是 type 指定的输入数组没有填充,并且使用了 FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE flag 时,返回 null

如果 add_emptytrue,则输入数组中缺失的条目会填充到返回数组中,并且缺失的条目将设置为 null

如果过滤失败,则返回 array 中的条目将为 false,当使用了 FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE flag 时为 null

注释

注意:

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!

<?php
function filter_input_array_with_default_flags($type, $filter, $flags, $add_empty = true) {
$loopThrough = array();
switch (
$type) {
case
INPUT_GET : $loopThrough = $_GET; break;
case
INPUT_POST : $loopThrough = $_POST; break;
case
INPUT_COOKIE : $loopThrough = $_COOKIE; break;
case
INPUT_SERVER : $loopThrough = $_SERVER; break;
case
INPUT_ENV : $loopThrough = $_ENV; break;
}

$args = array();
foreach (
$loopThrough as $key=>$value) {
$args[$key] = array('filter'=>$filter, 'flags'=>$flags);
}

return
filter_input_array($type, $args, $add_empty);
}
?>

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

Code:
<?php
/**
* @param integer $type Constant like INPUT_XXX.
* @param array $default Default structure of the specified super global var.
* Following bitmasks are available:
* + FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY - Force 1 dimensional array.
* + FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM - Trim by ASCII control chars.
* + FILTER_STRUCT_FULL_TRIM - Trim by ASCII control chars,
* full-width and no-break space.
* @return array The value of the filtered super global var.
*/
define('FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY', 1);
define('FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM', 2);
define('FILTER_STRUCT_FULL_TRIM', 4);
function
filter_struct_utf8($type, array $default) {
static
$func = __FUNCTION__;
static
$trim = "[\\x0-\x20\x7f]";
static
$ftrim = "[\\x0-\x20\x7f\xc2\xa0\xe3\x80\x80]";
static
$recursive_static = false;
if (!
$recursive = $recursive_static) {
$types = array(
INPUT_GET => $_GET,
INPUT_POST => $_POST,
INPUT_COOKIE => $_COOKIE,
INPUT_REQUEST => $_REQUEST,
);
if (!isset(
$types[(int)$type])) {
throw new
LogicException('unknown super global var type');
}
$var = $types[(int)$type];
$recursive_static = true;
} else {
$var = $type;
}
$ret = array();
foreach (
$default as $key => $value) {
if (
$is_int = is_int($value)) {
if (!(
$value | (
FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY |
FILTER_STRUCT_FULL_TRIM |
FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM
))) {
$recursive_static = false;
throw new
LogicException('unknown bitmask');
}
if (
$value & FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY) {
$tmp = array();
if (isset(
$var[$key])) {
foreach ((array)
$var[$key] as $k => $v) {
if (!
preg_match('//u', $k)){
continue;
}
$value &= FILTER_STRUCT_FULL_TRIM | FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM;
$tmp += array($k => $value ? $value : '');
}
}
$value = $tmp;
}
}

if (

$ret[$key] = $is_int ? '' : $value;
}
}
if (!
$recursive) {
$recursive_static = false;
}
return
$ret;

This function is very useful for filtering complicated array structure.

Code:
<?php
function filter_request($var, $default_structure) {

$ret = array();

foreach (
$default_structure as $key => $value) {
if (!isset(
$var[$key])) {
$ret[$key] = $value;
} elseif (
is_array($value)) {
$ret[$key] = filter_request($var[$key], $value);
} elseif (
is_array($var[$key])) {
$ret[$key] = $value;
} else {
$ret[$key] = $var[$key];
}
}

return
$ret;

}
?>

Sample Usage:
<?php
$_GET
['a']['wrong_structure'] = 'foo';
$_GET['b']['c'] = 'CORRECT';
$_GET['b']['d']['wrong_structure'] = 'bar';
$_GET['unneeded_item'] = 'baz';

var_dump(filter_request($_GET, array(
'a' => 'DEFAULT',
'b' => array(
'c' => 'DEFAULT',
'd' => 'DEFAULT',
),
)));
?>

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

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);

Example Usage:
<?php
$_GET
['A']['a'] = ' CORRECT(including some spaces) ';
$_GET['A']['b'] = ' CORRECT(including some spaces) ';
$_GET['A']['c'] = "Invalid UTF-8 sequence: \xe3\xe3\xe3";
$_GET['A']['d']['invalid_structure'] = 'INVALID';

$_GET['B']['a'] = ' CORRECT(including some spaces) ';
$_GET['B']['b'] = "Invalid UTF-8 sequence: \xe3\xe3\xe3";
$_GET['B']['c']['invalid_structure'] = 'INVALID';
$_GET['B']["Invalid UTF-8 sequence: \xe3\xe3\xe3"] = 'INVALID';

$_GET['C']['a'] = ' CORRECT(including some spaces) ';
$_GET['C']['b'] = "Invalid UTF-8 sequence: \xe3\xe3\xe3";
$_GET['C']['c']['invalid_structure'] = 'INVALID';
$_GET['C']["Invalid UTF-8 sequence: \xe3\xe3\xe3"] = 'INVALID';

$_GET['unneeded_item'] = 'UNNEEDED';

var_dump(filter_struct_utf8(INPUT_GET, array(
'A' => array(
'a' => '',
'b' => FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM,
'c' => '',
'd' => '',
),
'B' => FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY,
'C' => FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY | FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM,
)));
?>

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) ""
}
}

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

<?php
$filter
= array(
'myInputArr' => array('filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,
'flags' => array('FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW', 'FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY'))
);

$form_inputs = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, $filter);
?>

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

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:
<form>
<input name="t1[]" value="Some string One" />
<input name="t1[]" value="Another String Two" />
</form>

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

Here's an extended function that allows you to keep also the unfiltered items/args from the request, while you also apply validation to some of them:

<?php

$validationRules
= [
'foo' => [
'filter' => FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP,
'options' => ['regexp' => '/^(bar|baz)$/i']
]
];

$request = filter_input_array_keep_unfiltered_args(INPUT_POST, $validationRules);

var_dump($request);

function
filter_input_array_keep_unfiltered_args($type, $filters, $addEmpty = true)
{
$rawRequest = filter_input_array($type);

$validationRules = [];
foreach (
$rawRequest as $key => $value) {
$validationRules[$key] = isset($filters[$key]) ? $filters[$key] : ['filter' => FILTER_DEFAULT];
}

return
filter_input_array($type, $validationRules, $addEmpty);
}

?>
