When you have to type it 16 times, then you did something wrong.
Consider this:
foreach($_GLOBAL as $key => $val)
$$key = htmlspecialchars($val);
Replace $_GLOBAL by $_COOKIES, $_GET, .. OR you could just group
together variables:
<input type="text" name="form[name]" ..>
and go through $form in your script.

why do something in C, when it can be done in PHP so nicely:
function hsc(&$var) {
$var = htmlspecialchars($var);
}
Alias are terrible. The decrease readability of your code. Actually
doing hsc() in PHP is compareable silly.
