This is how I usually do it:
<input type="text" name="f[firstname]">
Then you have an array of values in $f
then just do :
while(list($key,$val) = each($f))
{
$$key = strip_tags($val);
}
Which will then create a variable $firstname and put a strip_tags of $val into
it (leaving your original $f array intact for future use)
