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_GET, INPUT_POST, INPUT_COOKIE, INPUT_SERVER, or INPUT_ENV之一。

options

一个定义参数的数组。一个有效的键必须是一个包含变量名的string，一个有效的值要么是一个filter type，或者是一个array 指明了过滤器、标示和选项。如果值是一个数组，那么它的有效的键可以是 filter，用于指明 filter type，flags 用于指明任何想要用于过滤器的标示，或者 options 用于指明任何想要用于过滤器的选项。参考下面的例子来更好的理解这段说明。

这个参数也可以是一个filter constant的整数。那么数组中的所有变量都会被这个过滤器所过滤。

add_empty

在返回值中添加 null 作为不存在的键。

返回值

成功时包含请求变量值的数组。如果通过 type 指定的输入数组没有值可以填充，当没有指定 FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE flag 时函数返回 null，否则为 false。其它失败返回 false。

如果过滤失败，数组值将为 false，如果变量未设置，返回 null。如果使用 FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE flag，变量未设置将返回 false，过滤失败将返回 null。如果 add_empty 参数为 false，不会为复位的变量添加数组元素。

示例

示例 #1 filter_input_array() 示例

<?php

/* data actually came from 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";
?>

以上示例会输出：

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)
  }
}

注释

注意:
在 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.

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

    ["b"]=>
    string(30) "CORRECT(including some spaces)"

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);
}

?>
