From: cel...@php.net Operating system: PHP version: 5.3SVN-2009-08-16 (SVN) PHP Bug Type: Filter related Bug description: filter_var() should accept objects without fatal error
Description: ------------ <?php filter_var(new stdClass, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL); ?> throws a fatal error because stdClass can't be converted into a string. filter_var() should be more flexible and simply return false in this situation, it makes it very difficult to provide validation not just for untrusted user input but for untrusted third party use of libraries who may make it insecure by passing in the wrong value to a field for setting. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49274&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49274&r=mysqlcfg
