Re: [PHP] Grabbing ALL $_POST var at once.
As you know, $_POST exists. You can also assign groups of names to an array through your HTML form like so: ... And then play with them, for example: extract($_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.

Re: [PHP] Grabbing ALL $_POST var at once.
extract() wouldn't do you any good here, you'd still have to use echo $one, echo $two, etc...so what are you gaining? If you just want the values displayed, use the foreach() method someone already posted. You can use implode() to combine the whole array in to a single string...if you need something more than that, let us know. With that many elements, maybe it's time to rethink your layout or naming conventions. ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: "David J Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "1LT John W.

Re: [PHP] Grabbing ALL $_POST var at once.
Do you simply need to view all of the values passed through the form? In
that case try something like..
foreach ($_POST as $name => $value)
{
echo $name." : ".$value."";
}

You can use extract if you want, but be careful, because it has security implications. Make sure you explicitly declare starting values for all non-user-supplied variables within that scope at some point after calling extract. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Grabbing ALL $_POST var at once.
See either extract() or import_request_variables() in the manual. -Rasmus On Mon, 6 May 2002, David J Jackson wrote: > The code below works (but its ugly), but I know there has to be a why to > grab all the $_POST[] at once and then parse them out? > > Isn't there a why for me to access them directory without reassigning them? > > TIH, > David > > > $From = $_POST['from']; > $Two = $_POST['two']; > $Subject = $_POST['sub_ject']; > $Comments = $_POST['comments']; > echo "$From";print "\n"; > echo $Two;print "\n"; > echo $Subject;print"\n"; > echo $Comments;print "\n"; > ?> > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Grabbing ALL $_POST var at once.
The code below works (but its ugly), but I know there has to be a why to grab all the $_POST[] at once and then parse them out? Isn't there a why for me to access them directory without reassigning them?
