$_POST must equal $_GET how?

[ppowell]

I have an inherited class method that is required to only handle items from $POST (and $POST alone, for security reasons), for validation and action processing.

Problem is that there is a section in my application that has to put everything into an encoded query string for HTML reasons (the page is a giant form and if I were to put the stuff into individual forms, I would have a bunch of embedded forms inside one form and that is an HTML no-no). So I need to figure out how to put everything into $POST from $GET before the validator handles it.

I've tried but when I do that, $POST exists, but even with register_globals turned on, while $POST['section'] exists, $section does not.

How do I put $GET into $POST and keep it there?

Thanx

you can try

foreach($GET as $key => $value) {
$POST[$key] = $value;
}

and if you want variables without the $GET, $POST part, use extract like
extract($_GET);
will give you all the keys of the get array as single variables.

Keeping in mind this will overwrite any POST variables of the same name. 😉

uhm....just one question...
why do you directly deal with $POST and $GET in your methods, and not just /some/ array ?

class Foo {
	function checkData ($data) {
		// do check
	}

function checkPost () {
	$this->checkData ($_POST);
}

function checkGet () {
	$this->checkData ($_GET);
}

}
