Hey Erik:
It's getting late, so I may not be thinking clearly...

Uh, I know you're a sharp guy, but I've got to ask anyway. If it's
doing such a simple thing, why do you need a method to do it? Why not
go ahead and unset the array directly?

Why not have the function automatically check each variable in POST (you
know, do a while loop for each $_POST) rather than have to call the
function over and over? That way you can call the thing once and you're
done. Plus, you can then either put that second, clean up, step in here
or have it a separate function called at the end of this POST check
stuff.

I tend to use classes for reusable purposes throughout my projects.
So, I wouldn't bog it down with things you're only going to use in one
place. Perhaps put this second, clean-up, process in an extension of
the primary class?
Good night (or good morning by the time y'all read this),
