Re: Easier way to clean GET Variables ?

Is there a way to loop thru all of these GET requests by: putting the GET variables into an array processing the variable strings with trim/striptags/etc in a loop exploding the variables back out into separate variables otherwise this gets a bit tedious

Proper filtering is necessarily tedious. There is no way to filter a last name, a server name, a file name, an IP address, a ZIP code, and a comment with the same function. Those who try wind up creating a "lowest common denominator" filtering function, or they confuse filtering with escaping (as demonstrated by some of the replies). As a good friend of mine likes to say, you have to get your hands dirty. Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/
