sanitize

What I am looking for currently is a simple, basic, login credentials sanitation script.

I understand that I make a function to do so and I have one...but all it does right now is strip tags...

am I doomed to use replace? or is there a way i can just remove all special characters and spaces and limit it to only letters and numbers...then as for the password limit it to only letters and numbers exclimation points, periods, and other special chars that cannot affect my SQL query.

Please help :/

Thanks, Matt
