$sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

// Call signature
// $sanitizer->type(scalar $data, scalar $defaultValue = null, int $maxLength = -1, bool $silent = false);

// Sanitize some values
$a = $sanitizer->int('123');
$b = $sanitizer->utf8('hello, world');
$c = $sanitizer->bool(-1);
$d = $sanitizer->ascii(null, 'someDefault');
$e = $sanitizer->utf8('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.', '', 26);

var_dump($a); // int(123)
