POST name

[Porl123]

I've got an inbox page on my site where all messages are shown in php, from mysql. Attached to each message is an invisible textarea and submit button, where you can instantly reply to a message, but because I can't use a hidden input to post the ID to the php procedure because it interferes with another <form> tag I have going around all the messages for the delete selected messages button, so I was wondering if it's possible to put <textarea name="message[<? $id; ?>]">, so the php knows which message it's replying to. Is this possible? If so, could you give me a brief example?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

does this thing helps you ? <textarea name="message[<?php echo $id; ?>]">

if not, i guess you should be more explicit, and paste some code here...

I haven't really got much to paste. Just wondering if that'd work

Sort of. To access the elements you would do:

 

<?php

$textAreas = $_POST['message'];

foreach ($textAreas as $id => $message) {
     echo "ID: $id has $message for a message.<br />";
}
?>

<textarea name="message[<?php echo $id; ?>]">

 

Also notice I changed the <? $id; ?> portion too.
