$sanitizer->minArray() method

Minimize an array to remove empty values

Usage

// basic usage
$array = $sanitizer->minArray(array $data);

// usage with all arguments
$array = $sanitizer->minArray(array $data, $allowEmpty = false, bool $convert = false);

Arguments

Name Type(s) Description

Name	Type(s)	Description
`data`	array	Array to reduce
`allowEmpty` (optional)	bool, array	Should empty values be allowed in the encoded data? Specify any of the following: `false` (bool): to exclude all empty values (this is the default if not specified). `true` (bool): to allow all empty values to be retained (thus no point in calling this function). Specify array of keys (from data) that should be retained if you want some retained and not others. Specify array of literal empty value types to retain, i.e. [ 0, '0', array(), false, null ] Specify the digit `0` to retain values that are 0, but not other types of empty values.
`convert` (optional)	bool	Perform type conversions where appropriate? i.e. convert digit-only string to integer (default=false).
