Comments on: Zend_Filter_Input and arrays http://www.oeic.net/oeic/2007/12/06/zend_filter_input-and-arrays/ Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:46:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Chris http://www.oeic.net/oeic/2007/12/06/zend_filter_input-and-arrays/#comment-638 Chris Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:30:00 +0000 http://www.oeic.net/oeic/2007/12/06/zend_filter_input-and-arrays/#comment-638 ZF seems to support 2-dimensional now. But too much in fact. It automatically recurses arrays. If you attach a Digits filter to an input parameter an array of digits will pass as well and there seems no way to distinguish the two using Zend_Filter_Input. Very annoying...

So you have to jump through a bunch of hoops if you pass n-dimensional arrays in your $_REQUEST data. Why recurse only 2 levels deep Zend?!

This could default to the full depth of the array, while specifying a number for the value would set the recursion depth. Something like $validators = array( 'month' => array( 'Digits', 'recursive' => true ) ); I think I'll suggest that as a feature in the ZF JIRA tracker.
