hard to explain

[Anon]

Is there any way of passing all vars on a page to a function, say instead of doing this

$var = htmlspecialchars($var);
$var1 = htmlspecialchars($var1);
$var2 = htmlspecialchars($var2);
etc etc.

any help would be much appreciated.

HTTP_POST_VARS array, HTTP_GET_VARS array, etc. read up on those.

And then read up on the foreach statement...

or the list/each.... 😉

figured it out... here it is for anyone else who might need it

while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $$key = htmlspecialchars($val); }
