Examples

Example 1. A input_get() example

<?php
$search_html = input_get(INPUT_GET, 'search', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$search_url = input_get(INPUT_GET, 'search', FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED);
echo "You have searched for $search_html.\n";
echo "<a href='?search=$search_url'>Search again.</a>";
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

You have searched for Me &#38; son.
<a href='?search=Me%20%26%20son'>Search again.</a>
