weird issue while setting object parameters from $_POST array

[LethPhaos]

There's probably an obvious reason but I can't seem to find it...

 

I start with the $_POST array, received from a form:

array(9) {
  ["Name"]=>
  string(3) "KTN"
  ["SQLServer"]=>
  string(24) "10.6.11.20\VSQLI028,1433"
  ["Username"]=>
  string(2) "GF"
  ["Password"]=>
  string(2) "GF"
  ["MasterDB"]=>
  string(11) "GFMaster_KN"
  ["Version"]=>
  string(3) "4.9"
  ["Prod"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["Monitored"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["button"]=>
  string(38) "updateColumnName=EnvironmentID;Value=1"
}

 

I get the button value from the array, and unset the button array value.

function load_POST($name) { //returns value and removes it from $_POST array. returns NULL if not existing.
  $debug = 0;
  if ( $debug == 1 ) {
    $backtrace = backtrace();
    echo __FUNCTION__."()";
    echo " <i>called by ".basename($backtrace[1]['file'])."</i><br/>\n";
  }
  $post = NULL;
  if( array_key_exists($name, $_POST) ) {
    $post = urldecode($_POST[$name]);
    if ( $debug == 1 ) {
      echo "post $name, value: $post<br/>\n";
    }
  } else {
    if ( $debug == 1 ) {
      echo "post $name: doesn't exist<br/>\n";
    }
  }
  unset($_POST[$name]);
  return $post;
}

 

$_POST is now:

array( {
  ["Name"]=>
  string(3) "KTN"
  ["SQLServer"]=>
  string(24) "10.6.11.20\VSQLI028,1433"
  ["Username"]=>
  string(2) "GF"
  ["Password"]=>
  string(2) "GF"
  ["MasterDB"]=>
  string(11) "GFMaster_KN"
  ["Version"]=>
  string(3) "4.9"
  ["Prod"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["Monitored"]=>
  string(1) "0"
}

 

Then I create the object to assign the values to:

object(Environment)#1 (9) {
  ["EnvironmentID"]=>
  NULL
  ["Name"]=>
  NULL
  ["SQLServer"]=>
  NULL
  ["Username"]=>
  NULL
  ["Password"]=>
  NULL
  ["MasterDB"]=>
  NULL
  ["Version"]=>
  NULL
  ["Prod"]=>
  int(0)
  ["Monitored"]=>
  int(0)
}

 

So far so good 

Then, for each remaining $_POST value, I update the Object accordingly:

First one, parametername: Name, parameter: KTN

object(Environment)#1 (10) {
  ["EnvironmentID"]=>
  NULL
  ["Name"]=>
  string(3) "KTN"
  ["SQLServer"]=>
  NULL
  ["Username"]=>
  NULL
  ["Password"]=>
  NULL
  ["MasterDB"]=>
  NULL
  ["Version"]=>
  NULL
  ["Prod"]=>
  int(0)
  ["Monitored"]=>
  int(0)
  ["ColumnName=EnvironmentID;Value=1"]=>
  object(stdClass)#3 (1) {
    ["ColumnName"]=>
    string(1) "1"
  }
}

 

And there we have the problem, for some reason the button value is added to the object somehow... Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

When copying $_POST to a new var $post and using that new var to do the rest of the processing doesn't help...

solved, issue was in one of my other functions, a nights sleep does wonders

I'm going to rewrite it anyway, to work the other way around: start from object and get each value from the $_POST array, this will be safer
