Generic $_GET validator

I want a dead simple generic $_GET-vars validator, and don't have any desire to reinvent the wheel.

Is there any solid and simple script I can use, something like:

function secure($varName,$format = 'int') {
//format: boolean,int,dec,str,date
    //add stripslashes if mq
    $var = $_GET[$varNa开发者_如何转开发me];
switch($format) {
  case 'int':
    $r = floor($var);
    break;
  case 'boolean':
    $r = ($var === true);
    break;
  case 'dec':
    $r = preg_replace("/0-9.-/i", "", $val);
    break;
  case 'str':
    ..
  case 'date':
    //ISO 8601 is enough...
}  

regards, //t

filter_input() comes fairly close to what you want to do.

It's got a decent number of validation and sanitation filters.

An example stolen from the manual:

<?php
var_dump(filter_var('bob@example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));
var_dump(filter_var('http://example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, 
                                          FILTER_FLAG_PATH_REQUIRED));
?>

Pekka gave a great function I didn't know about, but filter_input_array is what you actually want.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-input-array.php

Example:

Edit: Now shows how to validate a DateTime (ie, a timestamp).

/* data that came from GET
$_GET = array(
    'id'    => '14',
    'name' => 'Guidoe'
    'archived' => 'on',
    'date' => '2006-12-12 10:00:00'
);
*/

$args = array(
    'id'   => array('filter'    => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
                            'options'   => array('min_range' => 1, 'max_range' => 1000)
                           ),
    'archived'     => array('filter'    => FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN,
                            'flags'     => FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE
                           ),
    'date' => array('filter' => FILTER_CALLBACK,
                    'options' => 'valid_date_time'
                           )
    'name' =>array('filter'=>FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,
                   'flags'=>FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH
                           )

);

function valid_date_time($string) {
    $parsed = date_parse($string);
    if($parsed['error_count']>0 || $parsed['warning_count']>0)
        return false;

    return new DateTime($string);
}

$myinputs = filter_input_array(INPUT_GET, $args);
