HTTP_POST_VARS question

[lleemon]

I have a form that I dynamically create text boxes and the names respectively are text1, text2, text3, etc...... to text14.

When I click the submit button I am having issues with the $HTTP_POST_VARS code.

I just would like to know if I can do something like the following:

for ($iArCnt=1; $iArCnt<15;$iArCnt++){
    $sTmp = "text" . $iArCnt;
    if (strlen($HTTP_POST_VARS($sTmp)) > 0){
      $arFeature($iArCnt) = $HTTP_POST_VARS($sTmp);
    } else {
      $arFeature($iArCnt) = "";
    }
} 

Basically I would like to know how I can dynamically call each text.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that should be able to work, however $HTTP_POST_VARS[] is deprecated. You should use $_POST[] instead (php 4.2+).

Try switching to $_POST[], and if it still doesn't work, get back to us and someone or I will help you figure it out.

Yeah, I got it working but had some minor issues to change. Here is what I ended up with:

for ($iArCnt=1; $iArCnt<15;$iArCnt++){
    $sTmp = "text" . $iArCnt;
    if (strlen($HTTP_POST_VARS[$sTmp]) > 0){
      $arFeature[$iArCnt] = $HTTP_POST_VARS[$sTmp];
    } else {
      $arFeature[$iArCnt] = "";
    }
} 

My big mistake was using () instead of []

Ah, I didn't catch that

However, as I have previously stated, $HTTP_POST_VARS[] is deprecated and should not be used. Use $_POST[] instead.
