Extracting Other $_POST attributes beside field name and value

[rkdiekhoff]

Hi,

Is there other attributes that can be extracted from the $_POST array besides all form field names and their corresponding values?

For example, let's say I have an HTML form input tag constructed as follows:
<input id="ValueABC" type="text" name="Field1" value="Field1Value">

Based on the example, is there a way to use $_POST to extract the value of the id attribute, per se?

Thanks,
Ryan

No, you can only get the field names and values. If you realy need the ID value try using JavaScript to set a hidden field with the ID value.

Maybe try:

<input id="ValueABC" type="text" name="Field1[ValueABC]" value="Field1Value">

and on submit:

if(is_array($_POST['Field1'])) {
     $field_array = each($_POST['Field1']);
     $id = $field_array['key'];
     $value = $field_array['value'];
}

untested... 🙂
