Member Function Documentation

◆ armorFrenchSpaces()

static Sanitizer::armorFrenchSpaces ( $text,
$space = ' ' )
static

Armor French spaces with a replacement character.

Since
1.32
Parameters
string$textText to armor
string$spaceSpace character for the French spaces, defaults to ' '
Returns
string Armored text

Definition at line 879 of file Sanitizer.php.

◆ checkCss()

static Sanitizer::checkCss ( $value)
static

Pick apart some CSS and check it for forbidden or unsafe structures.

Returns a sanitized string. This sanitized string will have character references and escape sequences decoded and comments stripped (unless it is itself one valid comment, in which case the value will be passed through). If the input is just too evil, only a comment complaining about evilness will be returned.

Currently URL references, 'expression', 'tps' are forbidden.

NOTE: Despite the fact that character references are decoded, the returned string may contain character references given certain clever input strings. These character references must be escaped before the return value is embedded in HTML.

Parameters
string$value
Returns
string

Definition at line 766 of file Sanitizer.php.

◆ cleanUrl()

static Sanitizer::cleanUrl ( $url)
static
Parameters
string$url

  • Attributes without values are given the name as attribute
  • Double attributes are discarded
  • Unsafe style attributes are discarded

◆ hackDocType()

static Sanitizer::hackDocType ( )

◆ internalRemoveHtmlTags()

static Sanitizer::internalRemoveHtmlTags ( $text,
$processCallback = null,
$args = [],
$extratags = [],
$removetags = [] )
static

Cleans up HTML, removes dangerous tags and attributes, and removes HTML comments; BEWARE there may be unmatched HTML tags in the result.

Note
Callers are recommended to use ::removeSomeTags() instead of this method. Sanitizer::removeSomeTags() is safer and will always return well-formed HTML; however, it is significantly slower (especially for short strings where setup costs predominate). This method is for internal use by the legacy parser where we know the result will be cleaned up in a subsequent tidy pass.

Definition at line 654 of file Sanitizer.php.

◆ mergeAttributes()

static Sanitizer::mergeAttributes ( $a,

Returns
array

Definition at line 675 of file Sanitizer.php.

◆ normalizeCharReferences()

Returns
string HTML-encoded text fragment

Definition at line 898 of file Sanitizer.php.

References $matches, and wfUrlProtocols().

◆ safeEncodeTagAttributes()

Parameters
array$assoc_array
Returns
string

Definition at line 1179 of file Sanitizer.php.

◆ stripAllTags()

static Sanitizer::stripAllTags ( $html)

◆ validateAttributes()

static Sanitizer::validateAttributes ( $attribs,
$allowed )
static

Take an array of attribute names and values and normalize or discard illegal values.

  • Discards attributes not on the given list
  • Unsafe style attributes are discarded
  • Invalid id attributes are re-encoded
Parameters
array$attribs
array$allowedList of allowed attribute names, as an associative array where keys give valid attribute names (since 1.34). Before 1.35, passing a sequential array of valid attribute names was permitted but that is now deprecated.
Returns
array
Todo

Check for legal values where the DTD limits things.

Check for unique id attribute :P

Definition at line 548 of file Sanitizer.php.

References wfDeprecated(), and wfUrlProtocols().

◆ validateEmail()

static Sanitizer::validateEmail ( $addr)
static

Does a string look like an e-mail address?

This validates an email address using an HTML5 specification found at: http://www.whatwg.org/html/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#valid-e-mail-address Which as of 2011-01-24 says:

A valid e-mail address is a string that matches the ABNF production 1*( atext / "." ) "@" ldh-str *( "." ldh-str ) where atext is defined in RFC 5322 section 3.2.3, and ldh-str is defined in RFC 1034 section 3.5.

This function is an implementation of the specification as requested in T24449.

Client-side forms will use the same standard validation rules via JS or HTML 5 validation; additional restrictions can be enforced server-side by extensions via the 'isValidEmailAddr' hook.

Note that this validation doesn't 100% match RFC 2822, but is believed to be liberal enough for wide use. Some invalid addresses will still pass validation here.

Since
1.18
Parameters
string$addrE-mail address
Returns
bool

Definition at line 1877 of file Sanitizer.php.

◆ validateTagAttributes()

static Sanitizer::validateTagAttributes ( $attribs,
$element )
static

Take an array of attribute names and values and normalize or discard illegal values for the given element type.

  • Discards attributes not allowed for the given element
  • Unsafe style attributes are discarded
  • Invalid id attributes are re-encoded
Parameters
array$attribs
string$element
Returns
array
Todo

Check for legal values where the DTD limits things.

Check for unique id attribute :P
