This class can filter input of stray or malicious PHP, Javascript or HTML tags and to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. It should be used to filter input supplied by the user, such as an HTML code entered in form fields.

I have tried to make this class as easy as possible to use. You have control over the filter process unlike other alternatives, and can input a string or an entire array to be cleaned (such as $_POST).

** SQL Injection feature has been added.

One of the most common security problems of Web sites is the vulnerability to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

It allows to steal values of cookies that can be sent to different sites from those that originated the cookie values. This may allow an attacker to access a site impersonating an authenticated user by taking advantage of a stollen session cookie.

This kind of vulnerability exists on sites that display information provided by the users without properly escaping it before presenting in HTML pages. If the user supplied information to be displayed is unformatted text, it can be easily escaped by using the PHP function HTMLEntities().

However, if an user can submit HTML code to a site that displays it without previous validation and eventual cleaning of malicious Javascript or PHP code, the site is vulnerable to eventual cross-site scripting attacks.

This class provides a solution to perform the necessary cleaning of HTML code from dangerous cross-site scripting attack code.

Filtering Out Unwanted XHTML/HTML Tags
For a project I am working on right now, I wanted to allow users to add a little bit of HTML in a description field, but not too much. I only wanted to allow a few tags and a few attributes. I, never one to reinvent the wheel, headed to Google (a programmer’s best friend) on a code hunt. I tried several php filter functions and classes and I was left wanting. I was just about to give up and write something myself when I stumbled across the PHP Input Filter class on PHP Classes.org (you have to be a member to download code, but membership is free)...
