Description 

Author

This package can filter input values by chaining filter objects.

It provides a general filter container class that can queue a list of filter objects to apply to each expected filter value.

The container filter class take an associative array of values for instance from PHP $_POST or $_GET and then it calls all the queued filter objects to check if the values they match all the filter conditions.

If one filter condition fails, the container filter class triggers an exception.

One of the most important security measures of Web applications is to validate and filter the input users passed to the application from external systems.

There are many solutions to validate and filter values of common types.

This package provides a solution that developers can adapt to validate filter any value by using classes that can perform any verification of the input values.

Ionizer

Build Status Latest Stable Version Latest Unstable Version License Downloads

Input filtering system used in CMS Airship, now available for use in any project. Requires PHP 7 or higher.

What is Ionizer?

Ionizer is a structured input filtering system ideal for HTTP form data.

Installing

Get Composer, then run the following:

composer require paragonie/ionizer

Usage

<?php

use ParagonIE\Ionizer\GeneralFilterContainer;
use ParagonIE\Ionizer\Filter\{
    StringFilter,
    AllowList
};

// Define properties to filter:
$ic = new GeneralFilterContainer();
$ic->addFilter(
        'username',
        (new StringFilter())->setPattern('^[A-Za-z0-9_\-]{3,24}$')
    )
    ->addFilter('passphrase', new StringFilter())
    ->addFilter(
        'domain',
        new AllowList('US-1', 'US-2', 'EU-1', 'EU-2')
    );

// Invoke the filter container on the array to get the filtered result:
try {
    // $post passed all of our filters.
    $post = $ic($_POST);
} catch (\TypeError $ex) {
    // Invalid data provided.
}

Ionizer can even specify structured input with some caveats.

<?php

use ParagonIE\Ionizer\GeneralFilterContainer;
use ParagonIE\Ionizer\Filter\{
    IntFilter,
    IntArrayFilter,
    StringArrayFilter,
    StringFilter
};

$ic = new GeneralFilterContainer();
    // You can type entire arrays at once:
$ic->addFilter('numbers', new IntArrayFilter())
    ->addFilter('strings', new StringArrayFilter())
    
    // You can also specify subkeys, separated by a period:
    ->addFilter('user.name', new StringFilter())
    ->addFilter('user.unixtime', new IntFilter());

$input = [
    'numbers' => [1, 2, 3],
    'strings' => ['a', 'b'],
    'user' => [
        'name' => 'test',
        'unixtime' => time()
    ]    
];

try {
    $valid = $ic($input);
} catch (\TypeError $ex) {
}
