Again, you are confusing particular implementation of a particular filter with the idea of filtering. Moreover, even existing filters do not match your description: FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED, FILTER_SANITIZE_MAGIC_QUOTES, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS, FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_CALLBACK But in general, look at implementation of filters anywhere - like Apache filters or IIS filters - nowhere it is said that filter can only remove data. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
