$_POST and html <form>

[rharter]

I got a php/html file pair that was written assuming globals was turned on. I'm running with them off. The HTML form has several <input> tags and the name= is a subscripted variable, like this:

<form method-'post' action-'some.php'>
<input type='submit' type='text' value='var[0]' name='N1' ...
<input type='submit' type='text' value='var[1]' name='XYZ' ...

and so on. The php script accesses these values as

$var[0], $var[1], and can index them like so:

for ($1=0;$i<10;$i++) {
echo $var[$i];
}

and everything works just fine. However, with globals off,
I have not been able to get this to work. I know I could
loop through _POST and extract each key->value but I was wondering if there is an easy way to do this. Essentially,
what I would like is something as easy as:

$list =$_POST['var[]'];

or some such - I'm sure there is an easy way to do this without reworking the code.

thanks for any help,
ron

<form method='post'> 
<input type='text'   value='value1' name='var[]'> 
<input type='text'   value='value2' name='var[]'>
<input type='radio'  value='anothercontent' name='another'>
<input type='submit' value='go'>
<br> 
<?
while(list($key,$val) = each($_POST)) {
	if (is_array($val)) {
		while(list($k,$v) = each($val)) {
			print "$k $v<br>";
		}
	} else {
		print "$key $val<br>";
	}
}
?>

you may write

$var = $_POST['var'];

and proceed as before.

thanks very much - i figured it would be something simple but I was having trouble finding any documentation or examples. I had a little bug in my test case that was preventing that sort of statement from working. Your post forced me to revisit it and presto, it now works.

Much appreciated,
ron
