How to get a form input array into a PHP array


They are already in arrays: $name is an array, as is $email

So all you need to do is add a bit of processing to attack both arrays:

$name = $_POST['name'];$email = $_POST['account'];foreach( $name as $key => $n ) {  print "The name is " . $n . " and email is " . $email[$key] . ", thank you\n";}

To handle more inputs, just extend the pattern:

$name = $_POST['name'];$email = $_POST['account'];$location = $_POST['location'];foreach( $name as $key => $n ) {  print "The name is " . $n . ", email is " . $email[$key] .        ", and location is " . $location[$key] . ". Thank you\n";}


E.g. by naming the fields like

<input type="text" name="item[0][name]" /><input type="text" name="item[0][email]" /><input type="text" name="item[1][name]" /><input type="text" name="item[1][email]" /><input type="text" name="item[2][name]" /><input type="text" name="item[2][email]" />

(which is also possible when adding elements via JavaScript)

The corresponding PHP script might look like

function show_Names($e){  return "The name is $e[name] and email is $e[email], thank you";}$c = array_map("show_Names", $_POST['item']);print_r($c);


You could do something such as this:

function AddToArray ($post_information) {    //Create the return array    $return = array();    //Iterate through the array passed    foreach ($post_information as $key => $value) {        //Append the key and value to the array, e.g.            //$_POST['keys'] = "values" would be in the array as "keys"=>"values"        $return[$key] = $value;    }    //Return the created array    return $return;}

The test with:

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {    var_dump(AddToArray($_POST));}

This for me produced:

array (size=1)  0 =>    array (size=5)      'stake' => string '0' (length=1)      'odds' => string '' (length=0)      'ew' => string 'false' (length=5)      'ew_deduction' => string '' (length=0)      'submit' => string 'Open' (length=4)
