Question

Hey all i just want to make sure i am adding the value correctly to my array varable:

$post_values = array(
"x_first_name"      => $_POST['first_name'],
"x_last_name"       => $_POST['last_name']
);

If anyone could confirm that its the way it needs to be then please do :o)

That works, but these also work:

$post_values = array();
$post_values['x_first_name'] = $_POST['first_name'];

$post_values = array();
array_push($post_values, $_POST['first_name'];
// but now you don't have the desired index, just numeric indexes

You might also first want to check whether the post value exists:

if (isset($_POST['first_name']) {
    $post_values['x_first_name'] = $_POST['first_name'];
}
