rossdeane Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi People, Wonder if you can help me out.. I'm currently doing a few forms in php, and they can be quite large. The problem I have is that its very time consuming and boring to extract all the form fields into variables, for example $someformfield= $_POST['someformfield']; I've been doing a separate line for each field and just putting it in a separate include file for neatness, but surely theres a quicker way than doing this 50+ times? ??? I considered just naming the fields with numbers and then extracting each one inside a loop, but its not ideal because it would make the form code confusing... Any help appreciated, thanks Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 $_POST is already an array variable. $_POST['someformfield'] is a perferctly fine variable name. Assinging $someformfield = $_POST['someformfield'] is a waste of processor time and just doubles the amount of variable storage space needed. If you really want to do this, use the extract() function with the EXTR_PREFIX_ALL parameter and a $prefix string, something like - extract($_POST, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, "form_"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numan82 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 hi, the simple solution is using for each loop on $_Request(it is a request array that contains the form data being to be submitted) for example foreach($_Request as $key=>$value) { $InsertArray = $Value; } and than using this $InsertArray, you can insert a records into the specifice table of your DB. Hope it it will give you some idea. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
