Question

I have made an interface whereby the user can create his own form. I’ve just managed to load that form in a separate php file.

What I want to know is that after posting the form, how do I capture all the id and values of the inputs in an array so that I can display the the form (read-only) and display it on another page.

Answer 1

If your <form> method attribute is post – you send POST request to server. You can access all POST data through $_POST like var_dump($_POST);.

If your <form> method attribute is get or you have no method set – you send GET request to server. You can access all GET data through $_GET like var_dump($_GET);.

No matter which input fields was in form – they all would be here.

$post = array();

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
 $post[$key] => $value;
}

But this example is not too good. It’s not protected against SQL-injection – pay attention to it. But with it you can get all $_POST data in $post array.
