The Opening Post, is regarding regular expressions for many aspects where its not needed?

As filter_var works very well for me.

Validate Number

PHP Code:


			
$data = filter_var($data, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

Validate Email

PHP Code:


			
$data = filter_var($data, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

Validate Url

PHP Code:


			
$data = filter_var($data, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL);

Validate Boolean

PHP Code:


			
$data = filter_var($data, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN);

Validate String

PHP Code:


			
$data = filter_var($data, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

Validate IP

PHP Code:


			
$data = filter_var($data, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP);
