Do you really think filter module works well as optimal validator? It cannot enforce even whitelisting well... What filter module is missing as validator currently are: - Whitelisting concept (Implemented) - Multiple rules for a variable (Implemented) - String rules (Implemented) - Optional rule (To be implemented. Refactoring is needed) These are the missing features and cannot be fixed without additional functions. (W/o modifying current function behaviors) Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohg...@ohgaki.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
