Is there a way to loop thru all of these GET requests by:
putting the GET variables into an array
processing the variable strings with trim/striptags/etc in a loop
exploding the variables back out into separate variables

otherwise this gets a bit tedious

Proper filtering is necessarily tedious. There is no way to filter a last name, a server name, a file name, an IP address, a ZIP code, and a comment with the same function. Those who try wind up creating a "lowest common denominator" filtering function, or they confuse filtering with escaping (as demonstrated by some of the replies).

As a good friend of mine likes to say, you have to get your hands dirty.

Hope that helps.
