To get your <form> result sent as an array to your PHP script
|
|
|
|
|
you name the <input>, <select> or <textarea>
|
|
|
|
|
elements like this:
|
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
Notice the square brackets after the variable name, that's what
|
|
|
|
|
makes it an array. You can group the elements into different arrays
|
|
|
|
|
by assigning the same name to different elements:
|
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyOtherArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
<input name="MyOtherArray[]">
|
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
This produces two arrays, MyArray and MyOtherArray, that gets sent
|
|
|
|
|
to the PHP script.

<para>
|
|
|
|
|
<emphasis>Note that you must not use indices with arrays in HTML!</emphasis>
|
|
|
|
|
The array gets filled in the order the elements appear in the form. For
|
|
|
|
|
functions you can use to process these arrays once you get them into
|
|
|
|
|
your scripts, please see the Arrays section in the manual.
