#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

Elevator pitch

useSirius\Filtration\Filtrator;
$filtrator = newFiltrator();
// add filters for title$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 isarray(	'title' => NULL ,	'content' => 'My content was trimmed')*/
