Usage

wc_clean( $var );
$var(string|array) (required)
Data to sanitize.

Examples

#1 How the function works

All examples on sanitize_text_field() are relevant, e.g:

wc_clean( 'Let`s Check, <em>how</em>
the string is cleared     <br>. ' );
//> 'Let`s check, how the string is cleared .'

wc_clean( 'http://example.com/foo.php#bar' );
//> 'http://example.com/foo.php#bar'

It is also possible to process an array:

$data = [
	'say' => 'Hello,<br>user!',
	'<p>Paragraph with text</p>',
	'Plain Text',
];

wc_clean( $data );

/*
Array
(
	[say] => Hello,user!
	[0] => Paragraph with text
	[1] => Plain Text
)
*/
