getting values from html form

[foxrings]

How do I get values from a form without hardcoding the names of the fields.

Is there some sort of global array that I can pull?

Thanks =)

Thank you. I could not find anything that matched, cause my searching skills suck. =P

Take a look at $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS and see what they look like.

Try this line:

print implode(":",array_keys($HTTP_POST_VARS));

to see all the Post var names.

This one is nice too. You can make your vars in the form like this:

<input type=text name=user[0]>
<input type=text name=user[1]>

...

<input type=text name=user[99]>

And then all the text fields name user[xx] will be an array to the phpscript, i.e.

print $user[5] would get you the 6th name in our form above

What is it, you miss Tiny Basic or something? :-) Essentially, this gives you variables named 0..99.

Why not use QUERY_STRING and then parse the string with str_parse
