Note: FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE, FILTER_REQUIRE_SCALAR, FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY and FILTER_FORCE_ARRAY dont have prefix "FILTER_FLAG_" but they are FLAGS!Queste costanti sono definite da questa estensione e sono disponibili solo se l'estensione è stata compilata nel PHP o se è stata caricata dinamicamente a runtime.
These constants are used by filter_input() and filter_input_array().

   FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOL
    (int)
   true for "1",
     1 including binary, octal and hexadecimal notations, 1.0,
     "true", true,
     "on",
     and "yes".
    
    
     Returns false for "0",
     0 including binary, octal and hexadecimal notations, 0.0,
     "false", false,
     "off",
     "no", and
     "".
    
    
     String values are compared case-insensitively.
     The return value for non-boolean values depends on the
     FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE.
     If it is set, null is returned, otherwise false is returned.
    
    defaultFILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN
    (int)
   FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOL.
     The alias was available prior to the introduction of its canonical
     name in PHP 8.0.0.
    
   FILTER_VALIDATE_INT
    (int)
   Nota: String values are trimmed using trim() before validation.

   regexp option.
    
    defaultregexpFILTER_VALIDATE_URL
    (int)
   defaultFILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED
       (int)
      
         DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.3.0 and
         REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0.
         This is because it is always implied by the
         FILTER_VALIDATE_URL filter.
        
FILTER_FLAG_HOST_REQUIRED
       (int)
      
         DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.3.0 and
         REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0.
         This is because it is always implied by the
         FILTER_VALIDATE_URL filter.
        
FILTER_FLAG_PATH_REQUIRED
       (int)
      FILTER_FLAG_QUERY_REQUIRED
       (int)
      
      A valid URL may not specify the
      HTTP protocol (http://).
      Therefore, further validation may be required to determine if the
      URL uses an expected protocol,
      e.g. ssh:// or mailto:.
     
This filter only works on ASCII URLs. This means that Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) will always be rejected.
FILTER_VALIDATE_DOMAIN
    (int)
   defaultFILTER_FLAG_HOSTNAME
       (int)
      FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
    (int)
   addr-spec
     syntax in
     » RFC 822.
     However, comments, whitespace folding, and dotless domain names
     are not supported, and thus will be rejected.
    
    defaultFILTER_FLAG_EMAIL_UNICODE
       (int)
      Email validation is complex and the only true way to confirm an email is valid and exists is to send an email to the address.
FILTER_VALIDATE_IP
    (int)
   Validates value as IP address.
defaultFILTER_FLAG_IPV4
       (int)
      FILTER_FLAG_IPV6
       (int)

        » RFC 6890.
       
       
        Which for IPv4 corresponds to the following ranges:
        0.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8, 240.0.0.0/4.
       
        And for IPv6 corresponds to the following ranges:
        ::1/128, ::/128, ::FFFF:0:0/96, FE80::/10.
       
FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE
       (int)
      
        These are IPv4 addresses which are in the following ranges:
        10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16.
       
FD or FC.
       
      FILTER_FLAG_GLOBAL_RANGE
       (int)
      Global attribute is True.
        Available as of PHP 8.2.0.
       
      FILTER_VALIDATE_MAC
    (int)
   defaultFILTER_UNSAFE_RAW
    (int)
   FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_*
     and FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_*
     filter sanitization flags.
    
   FILTER_DEFAULT
    (int)
   FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW.
    
   FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING
    (int)
   FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_*
     and FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_*
     filter sanitization flags.
    
    
     The behaviour of encoding quotes can be disabled by using the
     FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES filter flag.
    
    Deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0, use htmlspecialchars() instead.
The way this filter strips tags is not equivalent to strip_tags().
FILTER_SANITIZE_STRIPPED
    (int)
   FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING.
    
    Deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0, use htmlspecialchars() instead.
FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED
    (int)
   FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_*
     and FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_*
     filter sanitization flags.
    
   FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS
    (int)
   
     This filter HTML-encodes
     ', ", <, >, &
     and characters with an ASCII value less than 32.
     Unlike the FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS filter, the
     FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS filter ignores the
     FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES flag.
    
FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_*
     filter sanitization flags, and it can encode characters with ASCII value
     greater than 127 using FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH.
    
   FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS
    (int)
   ENT_QUOTES set.
    
    
     The behaviour of encoding quotes can be disabled by using the
     FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES filter flag.
    
    Like htmlspecialchars(), this filter is aware of the default_charset INI setting. If a sequence of bytes is detected that makes up an invalid character in the current character set then the entire string is rejected resulting in a empty string being returned.
FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL
    (int)
   [a-zA-Z]),
     digits ([0-9]),
     and the special characters
     !#$%&'*+-=?^_`{|}~@.[].
    
   FILTER_SANITIZE_URL
    (int)
   [a-zA-Z]),
     digits ([0-9]),
     and the special characters
     $-_.+!*'(),{}|\\^~[]`<>#%";/?:@&=.
    
   FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT
    (int)
   [0-9]), plus sign (+),
     and minus sign (-).
    
   FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT
    (int)
   [0-9]), plus sign (+),
     and minus sign (-).
    
    FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION
       (int)
      .) character,
        which usually represents the separator between the integer and
        fractional parts.
       
      FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND
       (int)
      ,) character,
        which usually represents the thousand separator.
       
      FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC
       (int)
      e and E characters.
       
      
      If the FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION flag is not used,
      then the decimal separator is removed, altering the value received.
     
<?php
$number = '12.34';
var_dump(filter_var($number, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT));
var_dump(filter_var($number, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION));
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:
string(4) "1234" string(5) "12.34"
FILTER_SANITIZE_ADD_SLASHES
    (int)
   FILTER_SANITIZE_MAGIC_QUOTES
    (int)
   FILTER_SANITIZE_ADD_SLASHES.
    
    DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0.
FILTER_CALLBACK
    (int)
   options parameter as the value associated to
     the 'options' key.
    
    The callback should have the following signature:
valueNota: The value returned by the callback will be the value returned by the invoked filter function.
Example #1 
      Example of using FILTER_CALLBACK to validate
      a login name
     
<?php
function validate_login(string $value): ?string
{
    if (strlen($value) >= 5 && ctype_alnum($value)) {
        return $value;
    }
    return null;
}
$login = "val1dL0gin";
$filtered_login = filter_var($login, FILTER_CALLBACK, ['options' => 'validate_login']);
var_dump($filtered_login);
$login = "f&ke login";
$filtered_login = filter_var($login, FILTER_CALLBACK, ['options' => 'validate_login']);
var_dump($filtered_login);
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:
string(10) "val1dL0gin" NULL
      This filter cannot be used with any other filter flags, e.g.
      FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE.
     
Note: FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE, FILTER_REQUIRE_SCALAR, FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY and FILTER_FORCE_ARRAY dont have prefix "FILTER_FLAG_" but they are FLAGS!
