HttpRequest::getPostFields

pipesportugal · 09-09-2008, 09:26 AM

Hello dear colleagues from the talkphp forum,

I have been looking for an example of how to use the above function - HttpRequest::getPostFields.

I am trying to retrieve at my "update_any_table.php" script the name of the received posted variables, so that I can use it as "action" program of all my "update" forms.

Can someone help ?

Thanks in advance,

I don't drink alcohol but for someone who reads my previous post, surely will not think that way.
Sorry folks!

I want to retrieve the posted variable names in order to be able to perform an update at my mySQL database.

If I can't do it that way, I can always (also) post the variable names from the previous form and retrieve them together with the variables values.

Hope it's more clear now,
Regards,

I am not a professional, but I think this might work:

PHP Code:


			
if($_POST){

    $vars=$_POST;

    $names=array();

    foreach($vars as $key => $value){ //this would loop for every element in the array

        //$key would have the name of the element

        //$value has the value of the element

        $names[]=$key

    }

}

hope that helps

PHP Code:


			

$pstArrKeys = array_keys($_POST);

Hello there !

Thank You both for the replies.

I tried Enfeernikus suggestion at first, and it gave me an error, so I abandoned it, maybe it's due to an older php version of my lodging supplier, I imagine, I don't know really.

Tony's suggestion functioned right out of the box.

Could you show us the error for Enfernikus's suggestion of array_keys, please? I am curious, as that function is available in both PHP4 and PHP5.
