RE: R: [PHP] Get "nice" variables from POST

I try to use quotes in the query and this doesn't work. $query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_id = '$_POST['user_id']}'"; But you use brackets and it works.. Why do you use brackets ? $query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_id = ${_POST['user_id']}";

And I get the fields through POST: //Get Variable from the form $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; $password2 = $_POST['password2']; $email = $_POST['email']; $email2 = $_POST['email2']; $nickname = $_POST['name']; $city = $POST['city']; $state = $_POST['state']; $country = $_POST['country']; $misc = $_POST['misc']; $country = $_POST['country']; It works but it looks ugly. For each variable I have statemet. Is there a way to get the variables in the loop? I'm looking for "nice" way to get variables from POST?
