Re: [fw-general] Question about Zend_Filter_Input

[Pádraic Brady]

Hi Thomas,

Zend_Filter_Input has been deprecated and is no longer available - as you've 
noticed the current methodology is to set up filter or validator chains and 
pass in an element from $_POST, which of course means you need to run your 
isset() check to avoid the index error. Other possible options are using 
controller methods like Zend_Controller_Request_Http::getPost() which runs an 
isset() check though it's still verbose.

In the future there should be proposals for improved chaining of $_POST so 
there's less individual handling of $_POST elements such as this. I also hope 
it's configurable so I can avoid the setup almost entirely - ;).

Until then however - we're all in the same boat. The new classes are a big 
improvement design wise, so while it's making more work it opens vastly 
superior solutions in the future not possible with Zend_Filter_Input. It should 
be a price well paid for the long term gains.

Subject: [fw-general] Question about Zend_Filter_Input




 
 








Hi
 

  
 

What happened with the Zend_Filter_Input functions?
 

  
 

I had this in my bootstrap file (index.php)
 

Zend::register('post', new Zend_Filter_Input($_POST),
false);
 

Zend::register('get', new Zend_Filter_Input($_GET),
false);
 

  
 

And then I used that to filter input made by the user
like this…
 

$imaId = trim($post->noTags('imaId'));
 

  
 

This was really good because if the imaId in the form
that was submitted were an unchecked checkbox I didn’t get an error…
 

  
 

But if I know use…
 

  
 

Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Filter_Striptags');
 

$filterChain = new Zend_Filter();
 

$filterChain->addFilter(new
Zend_Filter_Striptags());
 

$imaId= $filterChain->filter($_POST['imaId']);
 

  
 

I get a error notice out of this…Notice:
undefined index imaId …and so on…
 

  
 

Anybody who can help how to do this without having to
use…isset($_POST[“…”]) everywhere?
 

  
 

Regards

I get a error notice out of this.Notice: undefined index imaId .and so on.

 

Anybody who can help how to do this without having to use.isset($_POST["."])
everywhere?
