PHP: $_POST vars

• nRIK

  hello, need some help,
  how can i automatically convert all my $_POST vars so i can refer to them just through their $key?

  For example:
  $myvar = $_POST['myvar']

  but in a foreach loop:

  foreach($_POST as $k=> $v){
  $k = $v
  }

  but that doesnt seem to work :(

  thanks in advance,

  Just use:

  import_request_variables("gpc");

  Imports get, post, or cookie vars into local variable names.

  Though you really should just use $_POST, it is much more secure.

  Might just be a code error in your first post too. Try:

  foreach ($array as $key => $value ) {
  $$key = $value;
  }

  yes you will need

  $$key

  and you can use $_REQUEST - that will give you POST and GET data in one array ; )

  this isn't the greatest plan in the world, but just so you know;

  foreach($_POST as $key=>$var) {
  ${$key}=$var;
  }
