Reading Forms with PHP

[jf29_83]

Is there a way that a PHP script can parse HTTP_POST_VARS without knowing what the form fields names are? What I'd like to do, is have a script that could parse the form, and put each form element's name, and it's value into a variable, something like:
$elementname1, and $elementvalue1, and then just keep incrementing the number, and then it could store that info in an SQL database.

Please let me know... any ideas or even suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

HTTP_POST_VARS is an array from form variables as HTTP_POST_VARS[name]=value

name is the "key" in the array so.....

for(reset($HTTP_POST_VARS); $k = key($HTTP_POST_VARS); next ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$count++;
$elementname.$$count= $k;
$elementvalue.$$count= current ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}

..... might do the job or at least is along the right lines I think although I haven't checked it

This will grab every form element and print out the name of the field and its value:

while (list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
echo "$key => $val";
echo "<BR>";
}

.... yeah but he wants them in that "curious" incremented format
