filter_input_array

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

filter_input_array — Récupère plusieurs valeurs externes et les filtre

Description

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

Cette fonction est utile pour récupérer plusieurs valeurs sans avoir à appeler plusieurs fois la fonction filter_input().

Liste de paramètres

type

Une constante parmi INPUT_GET, INPUT_POST, INPUT_COOKIE, INPUT_SERVER ou INPUT_ENV.

options

Un tableau définissant les arguments. Une clé valide est une chaîne de caractères contenant le nom de la variable et une valeur valide est soit le type d'un filtre, soit un tableau spécifiant le filtre, les drapeaux et les options. Si la valeur est un tableau, les clés valides sont filter qui spécifie le type du filtre, flags qui spécifie tous les drapeaux à appliquer au filtre, et options qui spécifie toutes les options à appliquer au filtre. Voir l'exemple ci-dessous pour une meilleure compréhension.

Ce paramètre peut également être un entier contenant une constante de filtre. Ensuite, toutes les valeurs du tableau d'entrée seront filtrées par ce filtre.

add_empty

Ajout des clés manquantes à la valeur null dans la valeur retournée.

Valeurs de retour

Un tableau contenant les valeurs des variables demandées en cas de succès. Si le tableau d'entrée désigné par type n'est pas populé, la fonction retourne null si le drapeau FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE n'est pas donnée, sinon false dans le cas contraire. Pour les autres échecs, false est retourné.

Un tableau de valeurs peut valoir false si le filtre échoue, ou null si la variable n'est pas définie. Ou, si le drapeau FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE est utilisé, la fonction retournera false si la variable n'est pas définie et null si le filtre échoue. Si le paramètre add_empty est false, aucun élément du tableau sera ajouté pour les variables non définie.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec filter_input_array()

<?php

/* les données arrivent depuis 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";
?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

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)
  }
}

Notes

Note:
Il n'y a pas de clé REQUEST_TIME dans le tableau INPUT_SERVER car elle est insérée dans la variable $_SERVER plus tard.

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

Example Usage:
<?php
$_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,

        'd' => '',
    ),
    'B' => FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY,
    'C' => FILTER_STRUCT_FORCE_ARRAY | FILTER_STRUCT_TRIM,
)));
?>

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);
}

?>
