The filter functions give you many options for filtering and  
validating user input:
http://php.net/filter-var

You should have access to the filter extension.  It gets built by  
default in PHP5.2+.

All of the different options for the third parameter are on this page:
http://php.net/filter

Note that they use "SANITIZE" for what we've been calling "filter" --  
it's because they have both validation and filtering/sanitizing under  
the "filter" umbrella term.
