| Introduction |
| ============ |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| Provides access to input variables in a convenient way, with security in mind. |
| |
| Requirements |
| ============ |
| We all know that you should always check input variables, but PHP does not |
| offer really good functionality for doing this in a safe way. The User Input |
| component is meant to address this issue by implementing a set of filters and |
| mechanisms that users can use to safely access their input data. |
| |
| Design goals |
| ============ |
| User Input handling is greatly improved in PHP, where there is a special filter |
| extension to get to user inputted data. Although it's much easier than before |
| for handling with user input in a secure way, it doesn't provide a very nice |
| interface. This component is addressing this. |
