Hi all. I finally am getting tired of working with these 60 field forms and having to write the mysql and php scripts, so i want to write a class to do all this for me, i will post this up here once i get it done, but I have one question. In ASP you can cycle thru all post variable and get their value plus their name. What is the best way of doing this in PHP? I want to create a loop something like this

loop thru all POST or GET variables
place variable NAME into $array[$i][0]
place variable VALUE into $array[$i][1]

Thanks for any help.

PS. I did look around on google and was unable to find something like this.

@chazzyJan 27.2006 — you could do:
[code=php]
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){
//do stuff
}
[/code]

However, I have to say, it will be a very insecure form doing it that way.

Why do you have 60 form fields? Doesn't seem like a great design in my opinion.

@cafrowauthorJan 27.2006 — some of our clients send us PDF files that they want turned into HTML and saved to a mysql database. Like insurance applications and such. As for security i will be making sure i take every step to make it secure.

Thanks for the example, i tried it and it works great.

So every form's a new row? so no chance of a repeat customer?

No not that at all. What i am doing is calling the HTML Form fields the same name as the column names in mysql, this way i do not have to write the insert statement. i am almost done with the class, i will post it here in a few mins.
