DealNews\\Filter
================

[](#dealnewsfilter)

Starting with PHP 8.1, the filter type FILTER\_SANITIZE\_STRING was deprecated. To avoid deprecated errors, this class implements similar behavior as the FILTER\_SANITIZE\_STRING filter. This is done by changing filters using `\DealNews\Filter\Filter::FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING` to use `FILTER_CALLBACK` to a closure implementing behavior similar to what `\FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING` provides.

This class is a drop in replacement for `filter_var`, `filter_var_array`, `filter_input`, and `filter_input_array`. The only filter that is is modified are ones using `\DealNews\Filter\Filter::FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING`.

Example
