requesting dynamic form posts

msavvy

I have an admin form for products that contains dynamic textareas for each of the product attributes.

The problem is that on the "form action" page that requests the posted variables, I'm not sure what variable names to ask for.

How can I get all the posted variable names and attributes? I've seen this done by loading them in to an array, but haven't been able to find it again.

You're probably talking about this.

I'm aware of $REQUEST, $POST and $HTTP_POST_VARS, but I'm not sure how to get an array of the name/value for each variable posted.

How do I loop through the entire $_REQUEST to get each variable name/value posted?

Haven't a clue what you mean then; $_POST[] contains all the posted names and values loaded into an array - exactly what you asked for. If you want something out of that then maybe one of the [man]array[/man] functions can give it to you.

My problem is that I don't know how to extract the name/values from the $_POST[] variable.

I'm used to requesting variables using...
$submit = $_REQUEST["submit"];

msavvy

Nevermind, this is the solution...

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
...
}

Oh, okay, but you really answered your own question:

My problem is that I don't know how to [man]extract[/man] the name/values from the $_POST[] variable.

Except that your loop doesn't load anything into an array.
