Question

Using the code found here I am posting input fields to a php script. The result looks something like this

 data:{
"textfield": ["",""],
"dropdown": ["option1","option1"],
"siteTitle":"this is the site title",
"siteKey":"",
"siteurl":"",
"address1":"",
"address2":"",
"address3":"",
"landline":"",
"method":"addSite",
"small-input":"",
"medium-input":"",
"large-input":""
}

I am picking off each field using the following.

 $data = $_POST['data'];
 $data =stripslashes($data);
 $obj = json_decode($data); 
 $siteTitle = sanitize($obj->siteTitle);
 if (!$siteTitle){echo json_encode(array("msg"=> "Site title missing"));break;}

Is there a way in php to automatically step thru each posted field and assign it to a variable based on the name ?

for those concerned about Déjà vu, don’t be.

Answer 1

$obj = json_decode($data);
foreach($obj as $key => $val)
{
    $$key = $val;
}
var_dump($method); // 'addSite'
