About your Data Filters
************************************************************************

First the validation filters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

You defined: FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP and FILTER_VALIDATE_URL.

I request adding: FILTER_VALIDATE_MAC for MAC addresses, considering  
(1) the six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens (-) or colons (:) format, and (2) three groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by dots (.) format. Of course, not forgetting the default of twelve hexadecimal digits.

Next the sanitizing filters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I request adding: FILTER_SANITIZE_MAC for MAC addresses, which would remove all characters except hexadecimal digits.


Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: filter.filters.validate

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/246 implements FILTER_VALIDATE_MAC.

I'm not sure if a sanitizing filter for MAC addresses makes sense though.

The correct PR is https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/247 actually.
