Question

Is there a php equivalent to something like this jquery:

var allInputs = $(":input"); allInputs.attr('type');

I need to retrieve the types from each of the post variables sent to a php script but I want to do it without using javascript and/or jquery, I guess it would also be nice to get the other attributes as well (id, class etc). Perhaps I have missed something but I have tried to find the answer to this on the internet in search engines etc and can’t even find another question similar to this one!

Thanks for any help and advice.

Answer 1

There is no way to do this without passing the types from jquery or javascript. All php knows is that some strings are coming in.

You can do something like this:

$.post('blah.php',{
var1: 'test',
var1Type: 'text'
...
});
