Examples
#1 Clearing cookie values for the comment form before displaying it on the screen
Suppose we use the function wp_get_current_commenter() to get the data of the name, mail, and site of the unauthorized user, which are in the cookies. But we will get raw data, to clear it before outputting it, we have to use sanitize_comment_cookies():
// Clean up the data sanitize_comment_cookies(); // now data is safe to use $commenter = wp_get_current_commenter(); // Output the data echo $commenter['comment_author']; echo $commenter['comment_author_email']; echo $commenter['comment_author_url'];
