Will it be used _instead_ of $_POST and $_GET?
An extension instead of the arrays?
You must be missing something...
Honestly, I'm not so sure
it's a good idea to implement it like PECL extension does. Filtering
individual variables is, in my opinion, a wrong way to treat user input.
You may filter data recursively, so filtering, for example, _POST or _GET would
work fine.
Besides, is it really necessary to make input filtering a part of the
language?
An extension is not a part of the language, you may or may not compile it,
while the language is still there.
It's a very high-level feature, and implementation may vary
according to the needs of the developer. Plus, it's perfectly doable in
pure PHP.
Yeah, that's why you can use your own callback for filtering.
In fact, I would go as far as removing session handling
functions from the "core" language too.
You're late.
Four or three years ago I'd agree with you, but it's too late for that.
