PHP filter_var function outputs nothing

I have the following code:
$email = 'test@example.com';
echo $email.'<br>';
echo filter_var('test@example.com',FILTER_SANITZE_EMAIL).' SANITIZED-EMAIL';
and it the output is as follows:
test@example.com
SANITIZED-EMAIL
Clearly the email is completely turned into an empty string. Similarly the filter_var with FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING does the same thing. What am I missing here?

your code should have thrown an undefined constant. You should be includingerror_reporting(E_ALL);at the top of your script. of course after<?php;)

Your code does give errors:
Notice: Use of undefined constant FILTER_SANITZE_EMAIL - assumed
'FILTER_SANITZE_EMAIL' in /var/www/html/test.php on line 4
Warning: filter_var() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in
/var/www/html/test.php on line 4 SANITIZED-EMAIL
It has to be FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL not FILTER_SANITZE_EMAIL - so it's just a typo.
