filter_input_array

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

filter_input_arrayObtem variáveis externas e opcionalmente as filtra

Descrição

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

Esta função é útil para receber muitos valores sem repetidamente chamar a função filter_input().

Parâmetros

type

Uma das constantes INPUT_GET, INPUT_POST, INPUT_COOKIE, INPUT_SERVER ou INPUT_ENV.

options

Um array definindo os argumentos. Uma chave válida é uma string contendo um nome da variável, e um valor válido é um tipo de filtro, ou um array opcionalmente especificando o filtro, marcas e opções. Se o valor for um array, chaves válidas são filter que especifica o tipo de filtro, flags que especifica quaisquer marcas que se aplicam ao filtro, e options que especifica quaisquer opções que serão aplicadas ao filtro. Veja os exemplos abaixo para um melhor entendimento.

Este parâmetro pode ser também um inteiro contendo uma constante de filtro. Desta forma, todos os valores no array de entrada serão filtradas por este filtro.

add_empty

Adiciona chaves faltantes como null ao valor de retorno.

Valor Retornado

Um array contendo os valores das variáveis requisitads em caso de sucesso. Se o array de entrada designado por type não for preenchido, a função retorna null se a marca FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE não for fornecida, ou false caso contrário. Para outras falhas, false é retornado.

Um valor de array será false se o filtro falhar, ou null se a variável não estiver definida. Ou, se a marca FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE for usada, a função retorna false se a variável não estiver definida e null se o filtro falhar. Se o parâmetro add_empty for false, nenhum elemento de array será adicionado para variáveis não definidas.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Um exemplo da filter_input_array()

<?php

/* dados realmente vieram de POST
$_POST = array(
'product_id' => 'libgd<script>',
'component' => array('10'),
'version' => '2.0.33',
'testarray' => array('2', '23', '10', '12'),
'testscalar' => '2',
);
*/

$args = array(
'product_id' => FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED,
'component' => array('filter' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
'flags' => FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY,
'options' => array('min_range' => 1, 'max_range' => 10)
),
'version' => FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED,
'doesnotexist' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
'testscalar' => array(
'filter' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
'flags' => FILTER_REQUIRE_SCALAR,
),
'testarray' => array(
'filter' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
'flags' => FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY,
)

);

$myinputs = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, $args);

var_dump($myinputs);
echo
"\n";
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

array(6) {
  ["product_id"]=>
  string(17) "libgd%3Cscript%3E"
  ["component"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    int(10)
  }
  ["version"]=>
  string(6) "2.0.33"
  ["doesnotexist"]=>
  NULL
  ["testscalar"]=>
  int(2)
  ["testarray"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    int(2)
    [1]=>
    int(23)
    [2]=>
    int(10)
    [3]=>
    int(12)
  }
}

Notas

Nota:

Não existe a chave REQUEST_TIME no array INPUT_SERVER porque ela será inserida na variável $_SERVER mais tarde.

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__;

);
if (!isset(
$types[(int)$type])) {
throw new
LogicException('unknown super global var type');

$var = $types[(int)$type];
$recursive_static = true;

continue;
}

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

$_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) ""
}

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:

<?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);
}

?>
