Question about POST

[doubledee]

When you submit an HTML form using POST, what are the $key->$value pairs??

That depends on the input type used, but this page covers some common cases:

In the example I gave, doesn't the $key get the input's name and the $value gets what the user submitted?

Yes, the key is the input name and the value is what the user entered or selected.  There's also special rules for multi-valued inputs, with an example on the page I linked for "beer[]".

Sorry, it is really late here!

 

If I have this...

 

				<select name="expMonth">
					<option></option>
					<option>01</option>
					<option>02</option>
					<option>03</option>
					<option>04</option>
					<option>05</option>
					<option>06</option>
					<option>07</option>
					<option>08</option>
					<option>09</option>
					<option>10</option>
					<option>11</option>
					<option>12</option>
				</select>

 

...for the Credit Card Expiration Month, and the user selects "08" for August, how would I capture that value?

I think you will find the value in $_POST['expMonth'].  I'm not 100% sure because I don't use HTML much, although I use a lot of PHP.
