Question

Here is the code….

if(!(isset($_POST["email"]) && isset($_POST["sessionKey"]) && isset($_POST["page"]) && isset($_POST["ipp"]))){
        return;
}else{
   $email       = htmlspecialchars($_POST["email"]);           
   $sessionKey  = htmlspecialchars($_POST["sessionKey"]);           
   $page        = htmlspecialchars($_POST["page"]);           
   $ipp         = htmlspecialchars($_POST["ipp"]);           
}  

ok, the idea is I MUST assign the parameter with the same variables. For example, if I post a parameter “test” , I must assign this to a variable …. test… …Is there any short cut for me to doing something like this? Thank you.

$data=array_map('htmlspecialchars',$_POST); 
extract($data);

Be careful with extract this can override your existing variables with same name but you can change this behaviour by passing additional parameter to extract function.
