Equivalent to calling htmlspecialchars() with ENT_QUOTES set. Encoding quotes can
be disabled by setting FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES. Like htmlspecialchars(), this
filter is aware of the default_charset and if a sequence of bytes is detected that
makes up an invalid character in the current character set then the entire string is rejected resulting in a 0-length string.
When using this filter as a default filter, see the warning below about setting the default flags to 0.

FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES,

or encode special characters. Encoding quotes can be
disabled by setting FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES.

FILTER_SANITIZE_STRIPPED |
"stripped" | Alias of "string" filter. (Deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0, use htmlspecialchars() instead.) | |
FILTER_SANITIZE_URL |
"url" |

$-_.+!*'(),{}|\\^~[]`<>#%";/?:@&=.

filter is also aliased to FILTER_DEFAULT.
|
When using one of these filters as a default filter either through your ini file
or through your web server's configuration, the default flags is set to
FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES. You need to explicitly set
filter.default_flags to 0 to have quotes encoded by default. Like this:
Example #1 Configuring the default filter to act like htmlspecialchars
filter.default = full_special_chars
filter.default_flags = 0
