array help

[esiason14]

I'll try to simplify this as much as possible. I'm working on a multi-tabbed AJAX form. Each tab has it's own name to pass values (ie. FB[] ).

Once the form is submitted, the resulting $_GET is something like this:

array(7) { 
   ["C"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(5) "22234" 
   } 
   ["FB"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(6) "390862" 
   } 
   ["SB"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(0) "" 
   } 
   ["TB"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(0) "" 
   } 
   ["SS"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(0) "" 
   } 
   ["OF"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(0) "" 
   } 
   ["DH"]=>  array(1) { 
      [0]=>  string(0) "" 
   } 
}

Note: each can contain a single value or comma separated values (Form is being submitted using prototypes form.serialize function.

My goal is to be able to run a db query on each value and then compare the results of each.

My question are...

how can I grab the ID's from the GET and put them into an array so I can run a query on each and then compare the results of each?

Should I stick with my current method of sending form values? Is there a better way?

Just to show how you could loop through that array.

foreach($_GET as $key => $array)
{
   echo "$key => {$array[0]}<br />\n";
}

If the 2nd-level arrays may have more than one element, then you could loop through those values in an internal loop:

foreach($_GET as $key => $array)
{
   foreach($array as $value)
   {
      echo "$key => $value<br />\n";
   }
}
