I was gonna say, when you say input filtering, I take it you mean both
validation and filtering. To my mind, the former is like, "does $email
look like a syntactically valid email address?" while the latter is like,
"strip all the non-digits out of $phone_number"  or "escape all the html
entities in $string." In any case, HTML_QuickForm is something you might
want to look at if you haven't already. It is concerned with form
generation and not just input validation -- you have to instantiate an
HTML_Quickform and add elements to it before you can add validation rules
-- but still you might find it interesting.
