sanitize_term_field()WP 2.3.0

Prepares (cleanse) term field value for use it in a text or elsewhere (depends on cleaning context).

Passing a term field value through the function should be assumed to have cleansed the value for whatever context the term field is going to be used.

If no context or an unsupported context is given, then default filters will be applied.

There are enough filters for each context to support a custom filtering without creating your own filter function. Simply create a function that hooks into the filter you need.

Return

Mixed. Sanitized field.

Usage

sanitize_term_field( $field, $value, $term_id, $taxonomy, $context );
$field(string) (required)

$term_id(int) (required)
Term ID.
$taxonomy(string) (required)

#1 Filtering Example

Example of the WP core function get_term_field(), in which the result is filtered through this function:

function get_term_field( $field, $term, $taxonomy, $context = 'display' ) {
	$term = (int) $term;
	$term = get_term( $term, $taxonomy );
	if ( is_wp_error($term) )
		return $term;

	if ( !is_object($term) )
		return '';

	if ( !isset($term->$field) )
		return '';

	return sanitize_term_field( $field, $term->$field, $term->term_id, $taxonomy, $context );
}
