PHP: Filtres de nettoyage

Filtres de nettoyage

**Liste des filtres de nettoyage**
ID	Nom	Flags	Description
`FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED`	"encoded"	`FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_BACKTICK`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH`	Applique l'encodage URL, et supprime ou encode les caractères spéciaux.
`FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS`	"special_chars"	`FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_BACKTICK`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH`	Transforme en entité HTML les caractères `'"<>&` et les caractères ASCII de valeur inférieur à 32, et supprime ou encode les autres caractères spéciaux.
`FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS`	"full_special_chars"	`FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES`	Équivaut à appeler la fonction htmlspecialchars() avec le jeu `ENT_QUOTES`. L'encodage des guillemets peut être désactivé en utilisant la constante `FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES`. Comme la fonction htmlspecialchars(), ce filtre tient compte du default_charset et si une séquence d'octets est détectée contenant un caractère invalide dans le jeu de caractères courant, alors la chaîne entière sera rejetée et une chaîne vide sera retournée.
`FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING`	"string"	`FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_BACKTICK`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_AMP`	Supprime les balises et transforme en entité HTML les guillemets simple et double, optionnellement supprime ou encode les caractères spéciaux. Encodage des guillemets peut être désactiver en définissant `FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES`. (Obsolète à partir de PHP 8.1.0, utilisez htmlspecialchars() à la place)
`FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW`	"unsafe_raw"	`FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH`, `FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_BACKTICK`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_LOW`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH`, `FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_AMP`	Ne fait rien, supprime ou encode les caractères spéciaux. Ce filtre est aussi un alias pour `FILTER_DEFAULT`.

Remember to trim() the $_POST before your filters are applied:

<?php

// We trim the $_POST data before any spaces get encoded to "%20"

// Trim array values using this function "trim_value"
function trim_value(&$value)
{
    $value = trim($value);    // this removes whitespace and related characters from the beginning and end of the string
}
array_filter($_POST, 'trim_value');    // the data in $_POST is trimmed

$postfilter =    // set up the filters to be used with the trimmed post array
    array(
            'user_tasks'                        =>    array('filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, 'flags' => !FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW),    // removes tags. formatting code is encoded -- add nl2br() when displaying
            'username'                            =>    array('filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED, 'flags' => FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW),    // we are using this in the url
            'mod_title'                            =>    array('filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED, 'flags' => FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW),    // we are using this in the url
        );

$revised_post_array = filter_var_array($_POST, $postfilter);    // must be referenced via a variable which is now an array that takes the place of $_POST[]
echo (nl2br($revised_post_array['user_tasks']));    //-- use nl2br() upon output like so, for the ['user_tasks'] array value so that the newlines are formatted, since this is our HTML <textarea> field and we want to maintain newlines

None of these parameters do answer my need, so I've made my own function, hope it helps some other folks!

function removeSpecialChars($valueToClean)
{
    return htmlspecialchars(str_replace([",", "#", "$", "%", "*", "~", "'", "=", "{", "[", "|", "`", "^", "]", "}", ":", ";", "<", ">", "/", "?", "&"], "", $valueToClean));
}

FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING doesn't behavior the same as strip_tags function.    strip_tags allows less than symbol inferred from context, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING strips regardless.
<?php
$smaller = "not a tag < 5";
echo strip_tags($smaller);    // -> not a tag < 5
echo filter_var ( $smaller, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); // -> not a tag
?>

With the deprecation of FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, the "use htmlspecialchars instead" is an incomplete comment.  The functionality of FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING was a combination of htmlspcialchars and (approximately) strip_tags.  For true compatibility a polyfil may be needed:

<?php
function filter_string_polyfill(string $string): string
{
    $str = preg_replace('/\x00|<[^>]*>?/', '', $string);
    return str_replace(["'", '"'], ['&#39;', '&#34;'], $str);
}

$string = "Some \"' <bizzare> string & to Sanitize < !$@%";
echo filter_var($string,FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING).PHP_EOL;
//Some &#34;&#39;  string & to Sanitize 

echo htmlspecialchars($string).PHP_EOL;
//Some &quot;&#039; &lt;bizzare&gt; string &amp; to Sanitize &lt; !$@%

echo strip_tags($string).PHP_EOL;
//Some "'  string & to Sanitize < !$@%

echo htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($string,ENT_QUOTES)).PHP_EOL;
//Some &quot;&#039;  string &amp; to Sanitize &lt; !$@%

echo filter_string_polyfill($string).PHP_EOL;
//Some &#34;&#39;  string & to Sanitize

Although it's specifically mentioned in the above documentation, because many seem to find this unintuitive it's worth pointing out that FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT will remove the decimal character unless you specify FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION:

<?php
$number_string = '12.34';

echo filter_var( $number_string, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT ); // 1234

echo filter_var( $number_string, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION ); // 12.34
?>

To include multiple flags, simply separate the flags with vertical pipe symbols.

For example, if you want to use filter_var() to sanitize $string with FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING and pass in FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH and FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW, just call it like this:

$string = filter_var($string, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH | FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW);

The same goes for passing a flags field in an options array in the case of using callbacks.

$var = filter_var($string, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS,
array('flags' => FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW | FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH));

Thanks to the Brain Goo blog at popmartian.com/tipsntricks/for this info.

It's not entirely clear what the LOW and HIGH ranges are. LOW is characters below 32, HIGH is those above 127, i.e. outside the ASCII range.

<?php
$a = "\tcafé\n";
//This will remove the tab and the line break
echo filter_var($a, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW);
//This will remove the é.
echo filter_var($a, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH);
?>

Please be aware that when using filter_var() with FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT and FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT the result will be a string, even if the input value is actually a float or an int.

Use FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT and FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, which will convert the result to the expected type.

Just to clarify, since this may be unknown for a lot of people:



ASCII characters above 127 are known as "Extended" and they represent characters such as greek letters and accented letters in latin alphabets, used in languages such as pt_BR.



A good ASCII quick reference (aside from the already mentioned Wikipedia article) can be found at: http://www.asciicodes.com/

Here is a simpler and a better presented ASCII list for the <32 or 127> filters 
(if wikipedia confused the hell out of you):
