[SOLVED] Minor problem retrieving form array names in php

[acctman]

in my FORM I have the names setup to be retrieved with an array in php in php I use the following code to Update the database

  foreach ($_POST['add'] as $col => $value) $_POST['add'][$col] = strip_tags(stripslashes($value)); {
  mysql_query("UPDATE rate_members SET m_".$col."='".sql_escape_string(stripslashes($value))."' WHERE m_id='$m_id'");
}

 

my problem is how do I retrieve a single $_Post name and value from the FORM? I know how to do it when and array grabbing all, but what about just one item? example code is that I'm trying to run but its not working since the name values are name=add[city] name=add[state] name=add[country] etc in the FORM.

 

if ($_POST['city'] == "" || $_POST['orientation'] == "" || $_POST['status'] == "" || $_POST['ethnicity'] == ""){
	$err;
}

echo $_POST['add']['city']

should give the city name.

 

Is that what you mean?
