RE: [PHP] Parse POST-Data myself

If you know the setup of the form beforehand it is relatively easy to do something like : $string="$myfield1[0] $myfield2[0] $myfield1[1] $myfield2[1] etc..." However I remember one of my stupid mistakes awhile ago was mistakenly giving two form fields the same name. My result was that the second field overwrote the first. How do you get an array? ____________________________ Matthew Luchak Webmaster Kaydara Inc. mluchak@kaydara.com -----Original Message----- From: Stefan [mailto:s.rusterholz@interaktion.ch] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 10:03 AM To: PHP Subject: [PHP] Parse POST-Data myself Hi I have following problem: I get a form with some fields having the same name. PHP solves this problem by appending [] to the form-field-names which causes the creation of arrays. My problem now is, that I have to pass those variables further to another script (not PHP) in exactly that order I receive them from the form. But when I have a form (schematically) like this: -input type=text name=myfield1 -input type=text name=myfield2 -input type=text name=myfield1 -input type=text name=myfield2 -input type=text name=myfield1 -input type=text name=myfield2 Then I get in PHP all myfield1 in 1 variable (the array myfield1) and all myfield2 in 1 other variable -> order is irreversibly destroyed. Give the fields numbers is not a solution (for complexity reasons). So my ultima ratio is to parse the post-data myself - but how can I do this? I have not found any indices for a variable containing post-data :-( If someone has another approach to a solution: I will have both ears open for it :) Thanks in advance Stefan Rusterholz, s.rusterholz@interaktion.ch ---------------------------------- interaktion gmbh Stefan Rusterholz Zürichbergstrasse 17 8032 Zürich ---------------------------------- T. +41 1 253 19 55 F. +41 1 253 19 56 W3 www.interaktion.ch ----------------------------------
