Description:
------------
When trying to filter anything other than string values, a segmentation fault occurs because the C code expects nothing other than strings.

I'm not sure whether this is a by-design thing or should even be considered a bug, but it would be nice to filter values other than strings.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$float = 34.78;

var_dump(filter_data($float, FL_FLOAT));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
float(34.78)

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
