I was able to get the return to work but not the pass in the reference. One
last question, what if I want to have each item on a separate line like:
function cleaner($var)
{
trim($var);
strip_tags($var);
ucfirst($var);
addslashes($var);
str_replace ("$","",$var);
}
$var = "abc's";
echo $var;
How would I return the results here, I tried various different ways none of
them worked?

You need to return the value from the function:
return trim(strip_tags(.....)
or pass in a reference:
function cleaner (&$var)
