while (list($a, $b, $c, $d) = each($e)) {

I was using a foreach($_POST['a'] as $key => $value) {

to process a loop, but have another issue. I have more than two values I am trying to pass to another page to process and the $key => $value isn't enough.

I actually have 4 values for each record. I pull this from a query:

$studentYearlist = $db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_tl_students a
JOIN ".$prefix."_tl_group_students b ON a.SOMS_KEY = b.SOMS_KEY   

WHERE a.Class_Year = $Course_Year");
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($studentYearlist)) {
		$SOMS_KEY = $row['SOMS_KEY'];
		$Name_First = $row['Name_First'];
		$Name_Last = $row['Name_Last'];	
		$UID  = $row['U_Account'];
		$Group_ID = $row['Group_ID'];

	if (!$studentYearlist) {
	echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");
	exit();   
	}

I was loading the _POST array like this.

"<td><input type='text' name='IRAT_Grade[{$SOMS_KEY}]' size='3' maxlength='3'></td>" 

So each grade would have a corrosponding SOMS_KEY value.

But I also have $Group_ID, and $UID for each record.

Is it possible for me to do this?

. "<td><input type='text' name='IRAT_Grade[{$SOMS_KEY}]' size='3' maxlength='3'></td>"   

. "</tr>" 
. "<input type='hidden' name='IRAT_Grade[{$Group_ID}]' value='$Group_ID'>\n"
. "<input type='hidden' name='IRAT_Grade[{$UID}]' value='$UID'>\n"; 

Then on the processing page do something like:

while (list($SOMS_KEY, $IRAT, $Group_ID, $UID) = each($IRAT_Grade)) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_tl_session_grades (Session_ID, UID, Group_ID, SOMS_KEY, IRAT_Grade, Academic_Year)". "VALUES ('$Session_ID', '$UID', '$Group_ID', '$SOMS_KEY', '$IRAT', '$Academic_Year')";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");}
  }

I think I would have to POST the values somewhere as well same as I did here: foreach($POST['a'] as $key => $value)

Someone reccomended:

do a foreach in the foreach

<?php
$data = array();
foreach($_POST as $key=> $value){
if(is_array($value)){
$data[$key] = array();
foreach($value as $k=>$v){
$data[$key][$k] = $v;
}
}
else{
$data[$key] = $value;
}
?>

Can someone further explain this, as I'm not following his advice?
