How to use filter_input with array?

I tried to use filter_input to load my POST value into a variable:

$tmp = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "p_member");    // fails

Output:

bool(false)

I also tried $tmp = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, "p_member"); // fails

Output:

bool(false)

But this works:

$tmp = (array)@$_POST['p_member'];

Output:

here is an answer based on link

If your $_POST contains an array value:

$_POST  = array(
  'var' => array('more', 'than', 'one', 'values')
);

you should use FILTER_DEFAULT AND FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY option:

var_dump(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'var', FILTER_DEFAULT , FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY));

Otherwise it returns false.
