How about:

for($i = 0; $i < count($fields); $i++)
{
for($j = 0; $j < count($badchars); $j++)
{
if(strpos($fields[$i], $badchars[$j]) === false)
{
continue;
}
else
{
print $fields[$i] . ' contained ' . $badchars[$j] . '<br />' . "\n";
}
}
}

It may not be the most elegant solution, and using regular expressions might make it
considerably easier, but hey... it works efficiently.
