need loop to reset HTTP_POST_VARS

[lukemcd]

I am trying to create code that takes variables submitted from a form and runs them through addslashes before replacing them. This is so I can submit them to a MySQL database. What I have below does not work. I am fairly new to this and not sure how to name a variable in a loop and replace its value.

while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
    $HTTP_POST_VARS[$value] = addslashes($value);
}

Any help very much appreciated.

while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
    $HTTP_POST_VARS[$key] = addslashes($value);
}
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);

Thanks for the prompt response Hand. But I tried out your code and the variables are still not being reset.

But it works 😕

while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
    $HTTP_POST_VARS[$key] = "test";
}
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);

// now all post variables are filled with "test"
while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
    $handkey = $HTTP_POST_VARS[$key];
    $handval = $HTTP_POST_VARS[$key];
    print "key: $handkey / value: $handval <br>\n";
}
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
