String Filters
Each of these filters does precisely what their name implies and correspond to the behavior of a built-in php string handling function. For more information on a given filter, refer to the manual page for the corresponding function.
string.rot13
Use of this filter is equivalent to processing all stream data through the str_rot13() function.
Example #1 string.rot13
<?php
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
stream_filter_append($fp, 'string.rot13');
fwrite($fp, "This is a test.\n");
/* Outputs: Guvf vf n grfg. */
?>string.toupper
Use of this filter is equivalent to processing all stream data through the strtoupper() function.
Example #2 string.toupper
<?php
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
stream_filter_append($fp, 'string.toupper');
fwrite($fp, "This is a test.\n");
/* Outputs: THIS IS A TEST. */
?>string.tolower
Use of this filter is equivalent to processing all stream data through the strtolower() function.
Example #3 string.tolower
<?php
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
stream_filter_append($fp, 'string.tolower');
fwrite($fp, "This is a test.\n");
/* Outputs: this is a test. */
?>string.strip_tags
Use of this filter is equivalent to processing all stream data through the strip_tags() function. It accepts parameters in one of two forms: Either as a string containing a list of tags similar to the second parameter of the strip_tags() function, or as an array of tag names.
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Example #4 string.strip_tags
<?php
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
stream_filter_append($fp, 'string.strip_tags', STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, "<b><i><u>");
fwrite($fp, "<b>bolded text</b> enlarged to a <h1>level 1 heading</h1>\n");
fclose($fp);
/* Outputs: bolded text enlarged to a level 1 heading */
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
stream_filter_append($fp, 'string.strip_tags', STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, array('b','i','u'));
fwrite($fp, "<b>bolded text</b> enlarged to a <h1>level 1 heading</h1>\n");
fclose($fp);
/* Outputs: bolded text enlarged to a level 1 heading */
?>
