Re: Wrighting to $_POST array

I have some code which will loop over the whole $_POST array, runs it through mysql_real_escape_string and then writes it all back to the array again, which seams to work. Are there any incompatibility problems or such like with writing into the $_POST or $_GET array?

    function clean_post()
    {
        $npost = array();

        while ($value = current($_POST))
        {
            $key = key($_POST);
            $npost += array("$key" => mysql_real_escape_string($value));
            next($_POST);
        }

        $_POST = $npost;
    }

There could be problems when introducing slashes if you use other peoples codes. But if this is for your own code it probably wont matter. And here is a shorter version of your code : foreach($_POST as $key=>$val) $_POST[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($val);
