extracting form variables for a mesage

[seanpaulcail]

On page 1 called "employer.php" I start a session, then I have the viewer fill out a form field.

One form example is

tr><td><i>Current Employers Name:<input class=textbox type=text size=35 maxlength=35 name=L113 value=""></td></tr>
</i><br>

I post this to a new page called "income.php"

On "income.php" I first start a session then I register the variable like so:

/ Get the user's input from the form
$Employers_name = $_POST['L113'];

// Create a new Session Value 
session_register('L113');

// Register the input with the value
$_SESSION['L113'] = $Employers Name;

then I extract the variable for the message, like this:

Employe Name= <strong><? echo $_SESSION['L113']; ?></strong><br />

I have sixteen pages for this form so I am repeating the above at least 100 times.

Is there an easier way using "each key=>value"?

If so please give me an example. Or if I'm doing it right, let me know as well.

By the way, my method works, I'm just looking for a simpler solution.

Thanks

Hi,
i don't understand so well, but seem that regular expression
is what you searching for.

Look manual for preg_match_all()
I use this to get between the tag

$num=preg_match_all("/<td.*?td>/",$ldata,$url);
print_r($url);

but can't help more, with preg i'm a disaster... 😃

I hope this help you.

You should not be using session_register() and $_SESSION[]at the same time.

$_SESSION['L113'] is the same thing as session_register( 'L113' )
and will cause problems ( read the manual regarding session_register . )

There is probably an easy way to handle this, but without more info it is impossible to help out.
