<listitem>
<para>
An array defining the arguments. A valid key is a <type>string</type>
containing a variable name and a valid value is either a <link
linkend="filter.filters">filter type</link>, or an <type>array</type>
optionally specifying the filter, flags and options. If the value is an
array, valid keys are <literal>filter</literal> which specifies the
<link linkend="filter.filters">filter type</link>,
<literal>flags</literal> which specifies any flags that apply to the
filter, and <literal>options</literal> which specifies any options that
apply to the filter. See the example below for a better understanding.
</para>
<para>
This parameter can be also an integer holding a <link
linkend="filter.constants">filter constant</link>. Then all values in the
input array are filtered by this filter.

&reftitle.returnvalues;
<para>
An array containing the values of the requested variables on success, or &false;
on failure. An array value will be &false; if the filter fails, or &null; if
the variable is not set. Or if the flag <constant>FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE</constant>
is used, it returns &false; if the variable is not set and &null; if the filter
fails.
