I managed to get this to work with PHP 5.1.6 on CentOS 5 with minor difficulty. 1) Download the PECL filter package 2) Extract the tarball 3) phpize the directory 4) ./configure 5) make 6) filter-0.11.0/logical_filters.c:25:31: error: ext/pcre/php_pcre.h: No such file or directory 7) find / -name php_pcre.h 8) Make sure php-devel is installed 9) Edit filter-0.11.0/logical_filters.c and replace "ext/pcre/php_pcre.h" with the absolute path of php_pcre.h 10) make 11) make install 12) add "extension=filter.so" to php.ini 13) Restart Apache

I dont know why, but this function doesn't work properly with array as $variable. To make it work I suggest to use foreach, and filter each value in this way.
