Inspekt - PHP Input Filter
Klingt interessant.
Inspekt is an input filtering and validation library for PHP4 and PHP5.
Driving principles behind Inspekt
- Accessing user input via the PHP superglobals is inherently dangerous, because the “default” action is to retrieve raw, potentially dangerous data
- Piecemeal, “inline” filtering/validation done at various places in an application’s source code is too error-prone to be effective
- The purpose of a library or framework is to make a programmer’s job easier. Verbose and/or complex solutions should be avoided unless they are the only solution
Features of Inspekt
- ‘Cage’ objects that encapsulate input and require the coder to use the provided filtering and validation methods to access input data
- Automatic application of filtering as defined in a configuration file
- A library of static filtering and validation methods
- A simple, clear API
- No external dependencies
