Question re $_POST/$_GET

scrupul0us

so just kinda briefly I'm designing an online form system for my company's intranet... i have all the forms stored in my DB as html... now, I want to be able to let my users saev their forms values so they have a "my documents" kind of thing... now, I dont want to store the ENTIRE form when they asve, just the values.. but since I have no idea which form they might be using I cant really hardcode $var = $POST['something']. Is there just a big generic $POST or $_GET array of all variables sent that I can process? I looked on php.net and didnt see any real solid info on this

Unfortunately $_GETS is an associative array anyway - so you cant reference the individual parameters except by name.

You can , however, use array_walk() to extract each variable to another array.
A quick example:

$get_array = array();

function get_parse ($get_item)
  {
   global $get_array;
   $get_array .= $get_item;
  }

array_walk($_GET);

so... just for testing purposes... i could submit a form to that code and do:

print_r($_GET);

in place of

array_walk($_GET);

just to see whats in there?

ok that print_r really (and always does) helps... just need to process the hell out of it and make some changes to my forms to allow for editing/replacement of vars

thanks for the help

no problem gets warm feeling

I have to admit tho I had to refer to the manual for this one 😛 I wasn't 100% that $_GET was an associative array (even tho it's fairly obvious that it should be)!! So I couldn't take all the credit...... LOL
