An elegant way of writing 'or' for many variables?

[kiwibrit]

When checking for email injection, I successfully use code something like the following:

$question = $validateform->injection($Name) ¦¦ $validateform->injection($Organization) 
¦¦ $validateform->injection($Address_1) ¦¦ $validateform->injection($Address_2) ¦¦ $validateform->injection($Town)
¦¦ $validateform->injection($Post_code);

Problem is I am at present writing a form with a whole bunch of inputs - so the above sequence is going to look a bit massive writing it that way. I guess it will still work OK - but is there a more elegant way of writing the code?

You could maybe do something like this:

foreach($_POST as $input) {
if(!$validateform->injection($input)) { #this depends on what the function returns if there is an injection found
echo 'Injection detected';
exit;
}}

This code, however, assumes that all post variables will be checked with this function. If you want to do it another way, you can use a similar technique, you just have to be more specific.

The reply looks quite elegant to me.

eelixduppy, neat. Thank you.

As far as the form variables go, your reply begs another question, which I had been thinking about since I posted my question. I'll do a bit more delving, and start a separate thread f I need to follow up.
