variables

[Anon]

hi, does anyone know of a method you can pass all which is passed through GET or POST to a function without having to define each variable. so effectively, all variables that are passed to a php page go through a function so i can strip specific characters.

any idea would but greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

To do this, I think you need to pull the variables out of $HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTTP_POST_VARS. This isn't too difficult -- see the manual for more info: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php

Using the predefind $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS (both are arrays):

Calling:-: test.php?search=web+tek+rocks&mode=AND&return=15

test.php

<?php

Example, $search, $mode, and $return are set by GET

echo "Number of results: " . doSearch();

function doSearch() {
global $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$sql = str_replace(" ", "%", $HTTP_POST_VARS['search'] );

mysql stuff....

return(mysql_num_rows($result);
}
?>

HTH.
