RE: [PHP] Javascript and Dynamic Form elements with PHP

I'm afraid you're out of luck on this one (without renaming your form elements). However, renaming the form elements isn't as bad as it sounds, as this code illustrates: $cgi = getenv("REQUEST_METHOD") == 'GET' ? $GLOBALS[HTTP_GET_VARS] : $GLOBALS[HTTP_POST_VARS]; // loop through each cgi variable foreach ($cgi as $key => $value) { // if it is named friend_name_ followed by a number, put it into the array $friend_name if (eregi("^friend_name_([0-9]+)$", $key, $matches)) { $num = $matches[1]; $friend_name[$num] = $value; } } --Bruce Bruce Christensen Intel Corporation brucex.r.christensen@intel.com -----Original Message----- From: Joao Prado Maia [mailto:jpm@kefta.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 3:29 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Javascript and Dynamic Form elements with PHP Hello everyone, I have a little problem here that maybe has no solution, but maybe someone already created a work-around for this, so here it goes: I'm trying to create dynamic form field elements, specifically text fields, and create them as arrays so I can just loop thru all of them and get their values, if any. Anyway, I have all of these form fields, named "friend_name[]" and I have to use Javascript now to create a dynamic pop-up window and document.write to that window using this text field value. The problem is that I just can't use the field name on my Javascript code because it breaks it. The object name "friend_name[]" is invalid. How can I create a work-around for that ? I mean, a work-around that doesn't require me to change the field name to "friend_name_1" or whatever, because I don't want something like that.
