I'm, not entirely sure, but I think foreach may grab a copy of the keys before iteration. I've never worried about that in foreach although I can remember issues back in the old days with the reset(), next(), end() set of array traversal functions :) If you're at all worried anyways, you can always do: <?php foreach( array_keys( $_POST ) as $key ) { if( strpos( $key, '_' ) !== false ) { $_POST[str_replace( '_', '', $key )] = $_POST[$key]; } } ?> Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
