WANTED: Sanitizer whith regex!

[NorbertH]

I really would like to see a sanitzer that uses a regex!!

$sanitize->regex($value, $regex);

Simply return empty if the value doesn't match.

It would be even better if we got an extra option for replacements and or callback functions.  If i have seen it right, there are even sanitizer that use HTMLpurifier so why is there no regex implemented as its one of PHP's most powerfull features ?

Sanitizer since PW 2.6.14 integrates nicely whith $input and so on , so using a seperate preg_match()/preg_replace()  isn't as elegant as using sanitizer.

Still no replacement possible ?

Thinking this through it would be even greater if you could add custom sanitizer as modules.  

Maybe like :
 

$sanitize->call($value, 'moduleName', $arguments);

It's possible! From the Sanitizer class description:

* Modules may also add methods to the Sanitizer as needed i.e. $this->sanitizer->addHook('myMethod', $myClass, 'myMethod'); * See the Wire class definition for more details about the addHook method.

Would be nice to see a little tutorial when you manage to do it ?
