I believe it is recommended to use filter_var nowadays. Apart from XSS type of filtering it's also great to check for example an emailaddress, instead of using a regex. See all types of filters.
I do agree, also using filter_input() and filter_input_array() should be preferred to using superglobals.
<?php $customerEmail = filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'user_email', FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL );
Thanks for the input
