Simple filter helper functions.

Integers
--------

[](#integers)

Validates integer value in a range within $min and $max if they are not false. Returns default value if the given is not an integer or it's out of the range.

```

```

Usually a developer needs to validate something that was provided by a user, so above example are rarely used. Instead several other filters for integers are more often used:

```

```

Strings
-------

[](#strings)

Validates string values. You can set size restrictions - minimum and maximum string lengths. Returns default value if the given string is outside the boundaries or not a string.

```

```

Similar to integer filters there are some for validating string from $\_GET, $\_POST and $\_COOKIE arrays

```

```

URL's
-----

[](#urls)

Validates URL, accepting only http or https protocols

```

```

Arrays
------

[](#arrays)

```

```
