[Resolved] List All Requests

[Slyke]

Would any one happen to know a code that put all the requests from a form into an array?

So instead going:

$_REQUEST['txtName']
$_REQUEST['txtAge'] 

You could just go :

$allRequests[2] 

Doesn't have to be secure, it's for testing only.

That way I can out put all the requests.

It would be nice to be able to determine whether they are gets or posts. But not required.

Looking though google didn't help .

That's what $_REQUEST is!

Explain more.

Yeah, but it's tricky !


Say if I submitted a form (using get) with these:

txtName=MYNAME&txtAge=13&rdoSex=on&txtFlower=my+favourite+flower&txtWords=

And posted these:
txtCharacter=thecharacter

Some are blank and some aren't.

How can I get the PHP script to output something like:

txtName(get) = MYNAME
txtAge(get) = 13
rdoSex(get) = on
txtFlower(get) = my favourite flower
txtCharacter(post) = thecharacter
txtWords(get) =

I believe it would have to loop though the $_POST and $_GET array, to get the difference. But doing this is the trouble, I don't know how to find the upper and/or lower of these arrays (Probably because they don't use numbers) or how to loop through them because of this.

Here's an attempt:

header('Content-type: text/plain');

$request_vars = array_merge(
  array_combine(
    array_map(create_function('$k', 'return $k."(get)";'), array_keys($_GET)),
    array_values($_GET)
  ),
  array_combine(
    array_map(create_function('$k', 'return $k."(post)";'), array_keys($_POST)),
    array_values($_POST)
  )
);

ksort($request_vars);

foreach ($request_vars as $k => $v)
  echo $k.' = '.$v."\n"; 

I am sure this can be improved.

[penagate]

Better:

$request_vars = array();

foreach (array(
  'get' => $_GET,
  'post' => $_POST,
  'cookie' => $_COOKIE
) as $source => $vars) {
  $request_vars = array_merge($request_vars, array_combine(
    array_map(create_function('$k', 'return $k."('.$source.')";'), array_keys($vars)),
    array_values($vars)
  ));
}

ksort($request_vars);

foreach ($request_vars as $k => $v)
  echo $k.' = '.$v."\n";

Thanks dude, but when I try to run this, I get a fair few errors:

Warning: array_combine() [function.array-combine]: Both parameters should have at least 1 element in /home/user/public_html/get_all_request.php on line 13

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/user/public_html/get_all_request.php on line 13

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/user/public_html/get_all_request.php on line 13

Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/user/public_html/get_all_request.php on line 16

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/user/public_html/get_all_request.php on line 18 

Line 3 starts of the code you gave me (ie line 3 = "$request_vars = array();")

[penagate]

Oh... perhaps there are no cookies.

Try this:

$request_vars = array();

foreach (array(
  'get' => $_GET,
  'post' => $_POST,
  'cookie' => $_COOKIE
) as $source => $vars) {
  if (is_array($vars) && count($vars) > 0)
    $request_vars = array_merge($request_vars, array_combine(
      array_map(create_function('$k', 'return $k."('.$source.')";'), array_keys($vars)),
      array_values($vars)
    ));
}

foreach ($request_vars as $k => $v)
  echo $k.' = '.$v."\n"; 

[Slyke]

Perfect!

Thanks heaps penagate!

I would rep you, but it says I must spread it around a bit first!
