new filter extension php5

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

new filter extension php5

Post by matthijs »

Today I came across the Filter extension for PHP, see also this tutorial.

I haven't read much about this extension yet, possibly because it's only bundled in more recent php versions and is still in a development stage. So I guess not widely known yet?
(or I just read the wrong blogs or haven't paid attention ..)

Anyway, my question:

What do you think about this module? Looks to me it's a great addition and really will simplify - and therefore make more secure - input filtering.

Interested in your input.

Yea I came across this article earlier today. I'm interested in giving it a go, but I probably won't get around to it for quite some time. Plus I get the same functionality from the Zend Framework.
