$datemonth = $_post["datemonth"]; $dateday = $_post["dateday"]; $game = $_post["bbsb"]; $gametype = $_post["type"]; $visitorteamname = $_post["visitorteamname"]; $visitorinning1 = $_post["visitorinning1"]; $visitorinning2 = $_post["visitorinning2"]; $visitorinning3 = $_post["visitorinning3"]; $visitorinning4 = $_post["visitorinning4"]; $visitorinning5 = $_post["visitorinning5"]; $visitorinning6 = $_post["visitorinning6"]; $visitorinning7 = $_post["visitorinning7"]; $visitorinning8 = $_post["visitorinning8"]; $visitorinning9 = $_post["visitorinning9"]; $visitorinning10 = $_post["visitorinning10"]; $visitorinning11 = $_post["visitorinning11"]; $visitorinning12 = $_post["visitorinning12"]; $visitorr = $_post["visitorr"]; $visitorh = $_post["visitorh"]; $visitore = $_post["visitore"]; $visitorrecord = $_post["visitorrecord"]; $hometeamname = $_post["hometeamname"]; $homeinning1 = $_post["homeinning1"]; $homeinning2 = $_post["homeinning2"]; $homeinning3 = $_post["homeinning3"]; $homeinning4 = $_post["homeinning4"]; $homeinning5 = $_post["homeinning5"]; $homeinning6 = $_post["homeinning6"]; $homeinning7 = $_post["homeinning7"]; $homeinning8 = $_post["homeinning8"]; $homeinning9 = $_post["homeinning9"]; $homeinning10 = $_post["homeinning10"]; $homeinning11 = $_post["homeinning11"]; $homeinning12 = $_post["homeinning12"]; $homer = $_post["homer"]; $homeh = $_post["homeh"]; $homee = $_post["homee"]; $homerecord = $_post["homerecord"];  $visitorpitcher1name = $_post["visitorpitcher1name"]; $visitorpitcher1ip = $_post["visitorpitcher1ip"]; $visitorpitcher1r = $_post["visitorpitcher1r"]; $visitorpitcher1er = $_post["visitorpitcher1er"]; $visitorpitcher1h = $_post["visitorpitcher1h"]; $visitorpitcher1bb = $_post["visitorpitcher1bb"]; $visitorpitcher1so = $_post["visitorpitcher1so"];  $visitorpitcher2name = $_post["visitorpitcher2name"]; $visitorpitcher2ip = $_post["visitorpitcher2ip"]; $visitorpitcher2r = $_post["visitorpitcher2r"]; $visitorpitcher2er = $_post["visitorpitcher2er"]; $visitorpitcher2h = $_post["visitorpitcher2h"]; $visitorpitcher2bb = $_post["visitorpitcher2bb"]; $visitorpitcher2so = $_post["visitorpitcher2so"];  $visitorpitcher3name = $_post["visitorpitcher3name"]; $visitorpitcher3ip = $_post["visitorpitcher3ip"]; $visitorpitcher3r = $_post["visitorpitcher3r"]; $visitorpitcher3er = $_post["visitorpitcher3er"]; $visitorpitcher3h = $_post["visitorpitcher3h"]; $visitorpitcher3bb = $_post["visitorpitcher3bb"]; $visitorpitcher3so = $_post["visitorpitcher3so"];  $homepitcher1name = $_post["homepitcher1name"]; $homepitcher1ip = $_post["homepitcher1ip"]; $homepitcher1r = $_post["homepitcher1r"]; $homepitcher1er = $_post["homepitcher1er"]; $homepitcher1h = $_post["homepitcher1h"]; $homepitcher1bb = $_post["homepitcher1bb"]; $homepitcher1so = $_post["homepitcher1so"];  $homepitcher2name = $_post["homepitcher2name"]; $homepitcher2ip = $_post["homepitcher2ip"]; $homepitcher2r = $_post["homepitcher2r"]; $homepitcher2er = $_post["homepitcher2er"]; $homepitcher2h = $_post["homepitcher2h"]; $homepitcher2bb = $_post["homepitcher2bb"]; $homepitcher2so = $_post["homepitcher2so"];  $homepitcher3name = $_post["homepitcher3name"]; $homepitcher3ip = $_post["homepitcher3ip"]; $homepitcher3r = $_post["homepitcher3r"]; $homepitcher3er = $_post["homepitcher3er"]; $homepitcher3h = $_post["homepitcher3h"]; $homepitcher3bb = $_post["homepitcher3bb"]; $homepitcher3so = $_post["homepitcher3so"];  $visitordouble = $_post["visitordouble"]; $visitortriple = $_post["visitortriple"]; $visitorhomerun = $_post["visitorhomerun"]; $visitorleader = $_post["visitorleader"]; $visitorgamenotes = $_post["visitorgamenotes"]; $homedouble = $_post["homedouble"]; $hometriple = $_post["hometriple"]; $homehomerun = $_post["homehomerun"]; $homeleader = $_post["homeleader"]; $homegamenotes = $_post["homegamenotes"]; 

and run following function if form fields have inside them.

function test_input($data) {      $data = trim($data);      $data = stripslashes($data);      $data = htmlspecialchars($data);      return $data; } ?> 

for simplicity, named variables same name value of each form field.

thank you, , appreciated.

if need each variable name separate (not in array) in example:

foreach($_post $key => $val) {     $$key = test_input($val); }
