How do you expect this helper to be called for filter_input? What's the difference between filter_var and filter_input? Thank you.

the core logic is the same, filter_var() expects a single mixed var as input, while filter_input() expects an input type (GET/POST/..) and a var name (which would be the array key on the input super global). Additionally filter_input handles the case when the var name offset is not existing at all on the superglobal input array.

Thank you 😊
