global ... init all variables at once?

[Anon]

Is there anyway I can import all form variables (so i can call them from within a function), with one command?

I know I can just use global on them all, but it would be easier if theres a function to do it all for me.

Well, you could declare
global $HTTP_POST_VARS
or
global $HTTP_GET_VARS

as appropriate, but that seems like more doodling around than it's worth.

// clean up the user's input:
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS); //go to the first in array
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) //interate each posted $var
{
if (is_array($val))//if it's an array do this:
{
for ($i=0; $i < count($val); $i++){
$val[$i] = trim($val[$i]);
$val[$i] = addslashes($val[$i]);
$GLOBALS[$key] = $val[$i];//here's your globals bit
}
}
else
{
$val = trim($val);
$val = addslashes($val);
$GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
}
}
