[SOLVED] array datadump in random variables

[Q695]

I have:

<?php

foreach( $_POST as $key => $value){

echo "<strong class='textb'>$key : $value <br /></strong>";

}

?>

 

I need something that will dump the arrays submitted along with it.

 

To see it run simply submit something within one of the forms (note: roof is complete).

How many dimensions are you expecting to have?

 

If a bunch you want to look into recursion, if not this would work:

 

<?php
foreach( $_POST as $key => $value){
    if (is_array($value)) {
           foreach ($value as $k => $v) {
                echo "  <strong class='textb'>$k : $v <br /></strong>";
           }
    }else {
        echo "<strong class='textb'>$key : $value <br /></strong>";
   }
}
?>

what about

print_r($_POST);

[Q695]

Thanks, those should help, since I was looking for something to datadump all post variables possible

[Q695]

They only seem to want to dump the first value in the array being submitted on the previous page

[Q695]

first version:

<?php

foreach( $_POST as $key => $value){

    if (is_array($value)) {

          foreach ($value as $k => $v) {

                echo "  <strong class='textb'>$k : $v <br /></strong>";

          }

    }else {

        echo "<strong class='textb'>$key : $value <br /></strong>";

  }

}

?>

<p></p>

Seccond version:

<?php

foreach( $_POST as $key => $value){

  echo "<strong class='textb'>$key :";

  print_r($value);

  echo "<br /></strong>";

}

?>

[Q695]

Anyone have ideas on how to dump the data from the form onto something else?

[rhodesa]

<?php
  function print_value ( $list ) {
    if(is_array($list)){
      print "<ul>";
      foreach($list as $k => $v){
        print "<li><b>{$k}:</b> ";
        print_value($v);
        print "</li>";
      }
      print "</ul>";
    }else{
      print $list;
    }
  }
  print_value($_POST);
?>

[Q695]

It is similar to how you populate with a shopping cart, but for some reason it doesn't output all the values that are checked .  It just wants to give me the last value chosen on the list.  What am I doing wrong?

[rhodesa]

are the names of the checkboxes all the same? like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="foobar" value="check1" />Check 1
<input type="checkbox" name="foobar" value="check2" />Check 2
<input type="checkbox" name="foobar" value="check3" />Check 3

if so, that is your problem...it needs to be:

<input type="checkbox" name="foobar[]" value="check1" />Check 1
<input type="checkbox" name="foobar[]" value="check2" />Check 2
<input type="checkbox" name="foobar[]" value="check3" />Check 3

 

[Q695]

That was the solution .  Thank you very much rhodesa.

I guess I need a tiny bot more help.

 

  function print_value ( $list, $project ) {
    if(is_array($list)){
      $project="$project <ul>";
      foreach($list as $k => $v){
        $project="$project <li><b>{$k}:</b> ";
        print_value($v, $project);
        $project= "$project </li>";
      }
      $project= "$project </ul>";
    }else{
      $project= "$project $list";
    }
  }
  print_value($_POST, $project);
echo "project: $project";

      $project="$project <ul>";
      foreach($list as $k => $v){

      $project= "$project </ul>";
    }else{
      $project= "$project $list";
    }
  }
  print_value($_POST, $project);
echo "project: $project";

 

what are you trying to do? cus you keep rewriting the variable $project

[Q695]

I need to load the project, then send it to a given e-mail address along with a message.

[rhodesa]

are you trying to do this:

<?php
  function make_list ( $list ) {
    if(is_array($list)){
      $rval =  "<ul>";
      foreach($list as $k => $v){
        $rval .= "<li><b>{$k}:</b> " . make_list($v) . "</li>";
      }
      $rval .= "</ul>";
    }else{
      $rval .= $list;
    }
    return $rval;
  }
  $project = make_list($_POST);
  echo "project: $project";
?>

??

[Q695]

Yes, that was exactly what I was looking for .

 

I was unsure why it was going wrong.

[Q695]

I just realized that I needed to add another feature, since it's dumping project into itself for the required fields.

 

Example:

  function make_list ( $list ) {

    if(is_array($list)){

      $rval =  "<ul>";

      foreach($list as $k => $v){

        if ($k!=project){

        $rval .= "<li><b>{$k}:</b> " . mysql_real_escape_string(make_list($v)) . "</li>";

        }

      }

      $rval .= "</ul>";

    }else{

      $rval .= "$list <br> $project";

    }

    return $rval;

  }

  $project = make_list($_POST);

  echo "project: $project";
