[SOLVED] Accessing dynamically created HTML forms

[amjohnno]

There is probably an extremely simple answer to this but I can't seem to get my head around it.

 

Basically I have a form dynamically created by results from a database. As such it's going to be different ever time it's used. For each row in the database I want to have a drop-down list. So my HTML form looks like this:

 

<form id="formid" name="formname" method="POST" action="page.php">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Text 1</td>
<td>Text 2</td>
<td>
<select name="reference_to_unique_database_id">
  <option value="7" selected="selected">Seven</option>
  <option value="6">Six</option>
  <option value="5">Five</option>
  <option value="4">Four</option>
  <option value="3">Three</option>
  <option value="2">Two</option>
  <option value="1">One</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Text 1</td>
<td>Text 2</td>
<td>
<select name="reference_to_unique_database_id">
  <option value="7" selected="selected">Seven</option>
  <option value="6">Six</option>
  <option value="5">Five</option>
  <option value="4">Four</option>
  <option value="3">Three</option>
  <option value="2">Two</option>
  <option value="1">One</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

[etc...]

<tr>
<td colspan="3"><input type="submit" value="Update" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

 

My question is, once I've submitted the form how would I gather the information using php given that each time the form is submitted the names of the form elements are going to be different?

use

 

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
// or
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']
// or
foreach($_POST as $K => $V)
{
echo $K." => ".$V;
}

If im getting your question right then the answer is simple. All the dynamically created post keys and values may be accessed by the $_POST superglobal. U can use print_r($_POST) to print out all the keys and their specific values.

That is exactly what I was looking for! (I knew it would turn out to be something simple!)

 

Many thanks
