sorry for only throwing things at you guys and not providing any code -
but i am currently packed with work :/

why dont create a object, that wrapps the request and makes it "safe".
then fixing the app is not more like sed action and you can handle stuff
in future as you like:

$_REQUEST[(['"][^'"]+['"])] -> Request::get(\1)
