Backs the mod_php-parity filter_input() / filter_input_array() overrides.

Under the CLI SAPI, PHP's native filter_input() reads the internal SAPI request tables, which OpenSwoole never populates — so legacy code using INPUT_GET / INPUT_POST / INPUT_COOKIE / INPUT_SERVER silently gets null. ZealPHP routes request input through RequestContext ($g) instead; this class resolves the right bag and applies the same filters PHP's filter extension would.

The filtering methods are pure (bag in, result out) so they unit-test without a server. bagFor() is the only context-dependent method and is fully guarded — a diagnostics/compat shim must never fatal.

Methods

bagFor()  : array<string, mixed>
Resolve a PHP INPUT_* type to the matching request bag from RequestContext.
filterArray()  : array<string, mixed>
Filter a whole bag, mirroring filter_input_array() — delegates to the native filter_var_array() so per-key definitions and add_empty behave identically to PHP's filter extension.
filterValue()  : mixed
Filter a single value from a bag, mirroring filter_input() semantics: missing key → null; otherwise filter_var() (false on failed validation).
stringKeyed()  : array<string, mixed>
Normalize a bag to string-keyed entries (filter_input addresses by name).

Methods

bagFor()

Resolve a PHP INPUT_* type to the matching request bag from RequestContext.

public static bagFor(int $type) : array<string, mixed>
Parameters
$type : int
Return values
array<string, mixed>

filterArray()

Filter a whole bag, mirroring filter_input_array() — delegates to the native filter_var_array() so per-key definitions and add_empty behave identically to PHP's filter extension.

Parameters
$bag : array<string, mixed>
$definition : array<string, mixed>|int
$addEmpty : bool
Return values
array<string, mixed>

filterValue()

Filter a single value from a bag, mirroring filter_input() semantics: missing key → null; otherwise filter_var() (false on failed validation).

public static filterValue(array<string, mixed> $bag, string $name, int $filter, array<string, mixed>|int $options) : mixed
Parameters
$bag : array<string, mixed>
$name : string
$filter : int
$options : array<string, mixed>|int

stringKeyed()

Normalize a bag to string-keyed entries (filter_input addresses by name).

array<string, mixed>
