Remove all array elements except what I want?

by

By whitelisting the entries you do expect.

<?php
$post = array( 
    'parent_id' => 1,
    'type' => 'foo', 
    'title' => 'bar', 
    'body' => 'foo bar', 
    'tags' => 'foo, bar', 
    'one' => 'foo',
    'two' => 'bar',
    'three' => 'qux'
);

$whitelist = array(
    'parent_id',
    'type',
    'title',
    'body',
    'tags'
);

$filtered = array_intersect_key( $post, array_flip( $whitelist ) );

var_dump( $filtered );

Anyway, using Cassandra as a data-store is of course not a reason not to do validation on the data you’re receiving.
