Hi,
You might wanna try something like this:
function cleaner($var)
{
$var = trim($var);
$var = strip_tags($var);
$var = ucfirst($var);
$var = addslashes($var);
// This line is not required $var = str_replace ("$","",$var);
return ($var)
}
And to actually use this function you will have to use something like this.
$var = cleaner($var);

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)
