It will work with just a variable. An array is probably used because
you want to insert more than only the last name:

$clean = array("last_name" => "o'reilly", "first_name" => "Bill", "And"
=> "so on");
$mysql = array();
foreach ($clean as $key -> $value) {
$myqsl[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
