I'm looking for a secure way of cleaning all inputs on my site. I have a function that works but it's long winded, I'm hoping there's a way of doing for each $_POST.

Here's what I've for at the minute:

function clean($str) { $str = @trim($str); if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $str = stripslashes($str); } return mysql_real_escape_string($str); }

and then after that I use:

$post1 = clean($_POST['post1']); $post2 = clean($_POST['post2']); $post3 = clean($_POST['post3']); $post4 = clean($_POST['post4']);

If there's an easier way to do this I'd love to use it.
