Array Troubles -- $name = $_POST[$name];

[JREAM]

Hey,

 

basically Im trying to make this loop act like the statements below this box.

But I keep getting an undefined index so the Array Values aren't reading through I think.

I tried a foreach loop, but my logic must be messed up on getting these arrays right, could anyone help me!

 

So each item is like:

$title = $_POST['title'];

$slug= $_POST['slug'];

etc ..

 

$items = 'title, slug, breadcrumb, keywords, description, content, parent_id, position';

// Make the Array
$values = explode(",", $items);

// Loop Through Each Value
for ($i = 0; $i < count($values); $i++) {
echo $values[$i] . '=' . $_POST[$values[$i]];
}	

 

This one works perfectly, Im testing this and the above on the same page

// This Works but I don't want to use it	
$title = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']);
$slug = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['slug']);
$breadcrumb = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['breadcrumb']);
$keywords = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['keywords']);
$description = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description']);
$content = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['content']);
$parent_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['parent_id']);
$position = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['position']);

Why the hell, You want to use the code like

that is seems bad programming pratice.

 

If you wanted to re use the varables, your need to use the array varable then the array name that a wast off time mate.

 

use a function

Waste of memory space using variables for each item in the $_POST, $_GET array.

Use the data within the array

 

foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {
   $_POST[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[$key]);
}

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table SET name='".$_POST['name']."'");

Hey

 

But I wanted the names also to be generated from the array like this so it generates the table ROW based on my function array list:

INSERT INTO table SET $array[$name]='".$_POST[$array[$val]."'");

 

Because then I can re-use the same thing for my other forms for creating a page.

I don't know how to retrieve the POST form name

This is bad practice
