Just have a look at the manual:

filter_var

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PECL filter:0.11.0)

So this function is only available since PHP 5.2.0 and you are using 
5.1.6 ... . I remember that I had a similar problem, because they 
renamed the function from filter_xxx to filter_var. However I can't 
remember the name of the old function.

Just type php -re filter on the command line to get the correct function 
name for 5.1.

cheers,
jay
