Description:
------------
It's common practice to combine several values into a single 
cookie. But there is no 
method of validating each of the values individually.

So proposing something along the lines of...


$values = array(
       'expires' => $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] + 3600,
       'value' => 'foo';
);

setcookie('comp', http_build_query($values,'', '&'));


And to read & filter...


$v = filter_input(INPUT_COOKIE, 'comp', 
FILTER_VALIDATE_QUERY, array(
   'expires' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
   'value' => ...
));

Hi!

What's about filter_input_array (or filter_var_array)?
 [2008-04-12 12:23 UTC] Jared dot Williams1 at ntlworld dot com 
Isn't there a possible issue with double encoding with having to use filter 
twice?

$cookie = filter_input(INPUT_FILTER, 'foo');

parse_str($cookie, $v);

filter_input_array($v, ... );

?
