As soon as the newsgroups are working again, I will add the filter changes.

Before I update the documentation, it seems that FILTER_FLAG_ARRAY does nothing, and simply reverts to the existing behaviour of using php_zval_filter_recursive() (which accepts scalar as well as array types). Was this intended?
 [2006-05-09 00:59 UTC] dave@php.net 
Nevermind, I see that the default flag value is SCALAR for input_get_args(), so setting ARRAY does something meaningful.

I changed it in CVS only. I would recommend to document the new behavior for pecl release and how it would act later in php6.

It is not yet defined which default filter will be used in php6 (likely "string").

About FILTER_FLAG_ARRAY and FILTER_FLAG_SCALAR, input_get will support them as well in the next release.

One question, how do you manage the doc for CVS and the various releases when behaviors change between them?
 [2006-05-10 00:02 UTC] dave@php.net 
I added a changelog entry for the two INI settings. As far as what the default might be in PHP 6, I don't think we really need to state that just yet. The extension is still classified as experimental, and the experimental warning already states "... may change without notice in a future release of PHP", which I think is sufficient.

As far as managing the docs for stuff in CVS, we usually just document it as per normal, including version information about the upcoming release. So, for the INI settings changelog, I said "before Filter 0.9.5", even though 0.9.5 hasn't been released yet.
