$sanitizer->fieldSubfield() method

Sanitize as a field name but with optional subfield(s) like “field.subfield”

  • Periods must be present to indicate subfield(s), otherwise behaves same as fieldName() sanitizer.
  • By default allows just one subfield. To allow more, increase the $limit argument.
  • To allow any quantity of subfields, specify -1.
  • To reduce a field.subfield... combo to just field specify 0 for limit argument.
  • Maximum length of returned string is (128 + ($limit * 128)).

Available since version 3.0.126.

Example

echo $sanitizer->fieldSubfield('a.b.c'); // outputs: a.b (default behavior)
echo $sanitizer->fieldSubfield('a.b.c', 2); // outputs: a.b.c
echo $sanitizer->fieldSubfield('a.b.c', 0); // outputs: a
echo $sanitizer->fieldSubfield('a.b.c', -1); // outputs: a.b.c (any quantity)
echo $sanitizer->fieldSubfield('foo bar.baz'); // outputs: foo_bar.baz
echo $sanitizer->fieldSubfield('foo bar baz'); // outputs: foo_bar_baz

“To Drupal, or to ProcessWire? The million dollar choice. We decided to make an early switch to PW. And in retrospect, ProcessWire was probably the best decision we made. Thanks are due to ProcessWire and the amazing system and set of modules that are in place.” —Unni Krishnan, Founder of PigtailPundits
