hello all,  i am having a for each problem.  im trying to get two post fields using the foreach function.

 

here is what i have in my form.php:

<?php
foreach($_POST['staff'] as $value) {
echo "$value -  <br />"; 
}
?>

 

the name of the the fields coming in are

name='staff[]'   and the second one is name='descr[]'

 

fields += 1;

it is displaying each result for $_POST['staff'], i just cant figure out how to get it to also give me output for $_POST['descr']

[flemingmike]

if i do it this way, it gives me the wrong output

 

<?php
foreach($_POST['staff'] as $value) {
foreach($_POST['staffd'] as $value1) {
echo "$value -  $value1<br />"; 
}
}
?>

first see what's actually available in the $_POST array..

 

The way as you are doing it suggests as you are trying to get the data from a multidimensional array..

if you're trying to access the same index from the $_POST['descr'] array, you'll actually need to grab the index from the $_POST['staff'] array in your foreach():

 

foreach ($_POST['staff'] AS $key => $val)
{
  echo 'Staff: '.$value.'<br />';
  echo 'Description: '.$_POST['descr'][$key].'<br />';
}

cool.. i had to modify slightly, but thanks for that!

 

<?php
foreach ($_POST['staff'] AS $key => $val)
{
  echo 'Staff:  '.$_POST['staff'][$key].'<br />';
  echo 'Description: '.$_POST['staffd'][$key].'<br />';
}
?>
