Fw: [PHP] variable reference parameters

Timo, This is just an idea. How about using the get_defined_vars() function, extracting the desired user defined variables, storing them in one array, and then sending that array as the single parameter to your sqlSafe() function? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-defined-vars.php Good luck, Kevin > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Timo Ewalds" <timoewalds@shaw.ca> > To: <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 11:21 PM > Subject: [PHP] variable reference parameters > > > > I've created (with help from some code from the site) a function to make > > strings or arrays mysql safe.
