$sanitizerline()

Sanitize any string of text to single line, no HTML, and no specific max-length (unless given)

This is the same as the text() sanitizer but does not impose a maximum character length (or byte length) unless given one in the $maxLength argument. This is useful in cases where the text sanitizer’s built in 255 character max length (1020 max bytes) is not enough, or when you want to specify a max length as part of the method arguments.

Please note that like with the text sanitizer, the max length refers to a maximum number of characters, not bytes. The maxBytes is automatically set to the maxLength * 4, or can be specifically set via the maxBytes option.

Available since version 3.0.157.

Usage

// basic usage
$string = $sanitizer->line(string $value);

// usage with all arguments
