I don't think it's *terribly* verbose, as it has good sentence structure
to it, but your version is certainly more efficient, hence I've
swapped to that. Any other takers? ;)

lose the conditionals?

$filter['flags'] = 0;
$allow_fraction && $filter['flags'] |= FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION;
$allow_thousand && $filter['flags'] |= FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND;
$allow_scientific && $filter['flags'] |= FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC;

or keep the conditionals and just do one assignment?

$filter['flags'] = ($allow_fraction ? FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION : 0)
 | ($allow_thousand ? FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND : 0)
 | ($allow_scientific ? FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC : 0);

as the perl motto says, "there's more than one way to do it".
