Being numeric or alphabetic sounds like validation. To my opnion it 
is not filtering. Maybe there's a need to 
COM_applyValidation(var,type,options) or similar ?

So one codes f.i. $uid = 
COM_applyValidation(COM_applyFilter($HTTP_POST_VARS['uid']),'numeric')

which turns '123wim5' into '1235' or 'false'.

cheers,
