$POST Variable Names

chrisdarby

Is there anyway to return the name of a $_POST variable... for example

The post array that comes back to me after i submit a form is as follows.

Array
(
[lodginpartyname] => sdfdsf
[lodginpartyregagentnumber] => sdfsdfsdf
)

Is there a way to return the "lodginpartyname" or "lodginpartyregagentnumber" etc

so that I can write something like:

function blah() {
    $count = count($_POST);
    $start = 0;
while ($start < $count) {
    $varname =  process to get variable name();
    $varvalue = $_POST[$varname];
    mysql_query("insert into tbl (varname,varvalue) values ('$varname','$varvalue)");  

$start++;
}

}

Any ideas ??

Thanks in advance... i'm sure its something really simple, normally i wouldnt need to do this but half of the variable names are dynamically generated on the fly so this sort of logic seems the easiest way

Hi,

Hope this is what you want 🙂

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>		  

</head>					  

<body>
<?php  

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	while(list($key,$val)= each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
	{
		print $key." = ".$val."<br>";
	}
}

?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="test.php">
  <input name="txt" type="text" id="txt">
  <input name="txt1" type="text" id="txt1">
  <input name="txt2" type="text" id="txt2">

   <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

output

txt = a
txt1 = b
txt2 = c
submit = submit
