Hey all. I currently have a situation here:
I let users ‘import’ certain things they can select. Now, it’s a simple foreach() loop, with ten times this in it:
<input type=”hidden” name=”custom_1[]” value=”‘.$custom_1.'” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”custom_b[]” value=”‘.$custom_b.'” />

How do I ‘link’ the two together, so I can properly have them both in my process.php?

Process.php is just this right now:

[code=php]<?php
$custom1 = $_POST[‘custom_1’];
$customb = $_POST[‘custom_b’];

foreach($custom1 as $c1)
{ echo $c1 . ‘<br />’; }
[/code]

Now, customb is supposed to be linked to that. How would I go about doing this?

@coldfire421Apr 14.2011 — Ok I made a code for you that automate the autopostback in controls. I make a textbox rather than hidden form field for you to test it

[code=php]
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Autopost Back Control</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<?php
$str='';
for($i=0; $i<3; $i++)
$str .= "<input type='text' name='custom[]' value='". getValue($i) ."' /><br />";

echo $str;

function getValue($i)
{
$postVal = isset($_REQUEST['custom'][$i]) ? $_REQUEST['custom'][$i] : '';
return $postVal;
}
?>
<input type="submit" value="POST" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

[/code]

@MaveauthorApr 14.2011 — I'm not really sure how that would work.

Let me try and make this clear again ;p. I have a foreach() loop, that loops an average of 10 times. In that loop, there are between 2 and 6 values each loop that need to be processed accordingly to a new page. It's possible that 1 is empty, 2 is empty, and 3 is filled, and 1 filled, 2, 3, 4 and 5 empty, and 6 filled.

So I need to process all of these values. I need to make sure that in the first possiblity, they're all marked as let's say 'a'. So, 1a is empty, 2a empty, 3a filled, 4a filled, 5a empty, and 6a empty.

Second would be marked 'b' (well, marking is not neccesarily, but I need to seperate them.)

Any one have any idea? :<
