$http_post_vars

Will strip_tags($HTTP_POST_VARS); remove the tags from all the post variables or can this function be used only on individual variables ?

Looks like just strings, not arrays.

string strip_tags ( string str [, string allowable_tags])

Haven't tested it to confirm, but when either an array or a string can be used it is called "mixed" in the manual.

example:

mixed str_replace ( mixed search, mixed replace, mixed subject)

So you need to loop through the array.

i usually do something like

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
    $_POST[$key]=stripslashes($value);
}
