dynamic $_POST

Can I go...$get = $blah[0];$info = $_POST["$get"];...I get error: Undefined index: 482214482214 is the name of the form name

$_POST is for getting variables from another page.. just use:

$get = $blah[0]$info = $get

its the same thing I think you want to do..

umm... dynamic $_POST...I'm trying to get the post from another page except I don't kow what the names of the things are... so I can't go $_POST['blah']. I have to open a file and get a list of names, then load all the names from the other page and see if they equal 1 or 0.so I need a $_POST_EVERYTHING_THE_FORM_HAS() or do a dynamic way.

use a foreach statement like this:

<?php  foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){    echo "  <tr><td>";    echo htmlspecialchars($key,ENT_QUOTES);    echo "</td><td>";    echo htmlspecialchars($value,ENT_QUOTES);    echo "</td></tr>";  }?>

no matter what you send it, this code will echo it all. (post-echo)LG

You can use this function to bring all request variables into the global scope:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.impo...t-variables.phpOnce you do that, you would have to use 'variable variables' to refer to the individual request variables:

inport_request_variables("p", "varprefix_");$varname = "varprefix_" . $fileinfo[0];echo "the value of {$varname} is {$$varname}"; //note the double $ signs

More on variable variables:http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.phpHowever, your example should still work. You should also be able to do this:

$varname = $fileinfo[0];echo $_POST[$varname];

If you are getting an array index error, you could try changing the error reporting in php.ini to not report those errors (the value would just be ""), or you can also check to see if the value has been set before using it:

$varname = $fileinfo[0];if (isset($_POST[$varname])){  echo $_POST[$varname];}
