#Sirius\Filtration
PHP library for array filtering/sanitization
Sometimes you want to make sure the values pushed by a source (eg: a user when submits a form) follow some restrictions like
- no space at the beginning or the end for the title of a page
- no HTML code in a comment sent by a user
- no spaces in the field which represents the URL
- remove XSS attacks
- etc...
Other times you want to make sure that the data you send to the user is parsed before displaying. For example you may want to:
- convert markdown into HTML
- convert URLs into links
- apply a localized format to dates
- etc ()
To achieve this end result you need to filter the values. This is where SiriusFiltration comes into place
use Sirius\Filtration\Filtrator;
$filtrator = new Filtrator();
// add filters for title
$filtrator->add('title', 'trim');
$filtrator->add('title', 'strip_tags');
$filtrator->add('title', 'nullify');
// add filters for content in one go
$filtrator->add('content', [
'trim'
]);
$result = $filtrator->filter(array(
'title' => ' <h1>My title has tags and is awesome</h1>',
'content' => ' My content was trimmed'
));
/* $result is
array(
'title' => NULL ,
'content' => 'My content was trimmed'
)
*/
