Variable INSIDE a $_POST

[ronchan]

I have a very long form with input numeric names.

 

Normally I would do this to process the form:

 

$input_1005=$_POST['1005'];

$input_1006=$_POST['1006'];

 

But since there are so many inputs (over 75) I'd rather create a WHILE loop to process this form, something like:

 

$input_num=$_POST[echo $num;];

 

I know that I have the syntax wrong though.

 

Can anyone give me some help?

 

Thanks!

Take a look at extract (use 'prefix all' mode)

If you create a named array variable in your form where the index of the array is your numeric value, you can use a simple foreach loop in your code to iterate over all the indexes and values.

 

Form -

<input type="text" name="arr[1005]">
<input type="text" name="arr[1006]">

 

Form processing code -

foreach($_POST['arr'] as $key => $value){
    echo "Key: $key, has value: $value<br />";
}

Thanks for the help. Using the array got me on the right track and I've figured it out. Thanks again!!
