Re: Grabbing ALL $_POST var at once.

As you know, $_POST exists. You can also assign groups of names to an array through your HTML form like so: <input type="text" name="bar[name]"> <input type="text" name="bar[doh]"> ... And then play with them, for example: extract($_POST['bar']); print "I say $name and $doh"; extract($_POST['bar'], EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'bar'); print "I say $bar_name and $bar_doh"; extract() is a pretty cool function with many options, read about extract here: http://www.php.net/extract And as already stated by others, import_request_variables() and $_REQUEST exist too.
