Filter_var_array() in PHP

Question

Good day, this code is wrong:

filter_var_array(['<b> text</b>  \`/ =)', ' " \ " '], FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS, FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES);

Why the flag FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES isn't working?

“Why the flag FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES isn't working?” – because you are passing it as the third parameter to the function, which has a totally different meaning. — C3roe

Because you have a comma, so your flag is given to filter_var_array as third argument.

try:

filter_var_array(['<b> text</b>  \`/ =)', ' " \ " '],
FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS ^ FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES);

instead
