// List of variable names
$var_list = array ( 'var1', 'var2', 'var3', 'var4' );
while (list($key,$val) = each($var_list)) {
if ($$val == '') {
$url .= "&".$val."=";
$error = 1;
} else {
$url .= "&".$val."=". urlencode(stripslashes($$val)) ."";
}
}
Of course, if this is all POST variables then you should be able to just
use the pre-built array $HTTP_POST_VARS (if track_vars is on). Then you'd
do something like this instead:
while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
if ($val == '') {
$url .= "&".$key."=";
$error = 1;
} else {
$url .= "&".$key."=".urlencode(stripslashes($val))."";
}
}
If you're using GET rather than post, just subtitute $HTTP_GET_VARS.
