Hello,
I am writing a PHP script that is going to accept variables that are passed
from a PDF form and should write both the name of the variable and its value
to a text file.
I can get the value that I want to retrieve with out problem. However, even
though I have searched through the PHP.net site and googled this as well I
have not yet been able to find the syntax that I need to get the names of the
variables in the $_Post array.
Can someone point me to the place in the PHP manual where I can find the
syntax to get the name of a variable in the $_POST array?
Thank you

As in...
$varnames = array_keys($_POST);

Hello Stut,
That is not exactly what I am looking for. If I try using that in My PHP
script what I get as a result of that is repeatedly the Phrase "Post Array"
when I check the values there. The PDF form that is posting to the PHP script
is passing variable names like "Employer_name" or "Employee_Name". I am
hoping to get those variable names.
Put this line at the top of the script that the form posts to...
print '<pre>'.print_r($_POST, true).'</pre>'; exit;
That will display the contents of the $_POST array and you should be
able to figure out where everything is.
By the sounds of it the posted values are actually in $_POST['Post
Array'] but use the above line to be sure.

Maybe this will get you started and give you some ideas.
<?
foreach($_POST as $p => $v) {
$$p = $v;
echo $p." = ".$v."\n";
}
?>

Please take me off the list as I have already tried to unsubscribe several
times.
Andrew:
Just for my own amusement, who do you think you are talking to?
Figuring out how to unsubscribe shouldn't be much harder than
subscribing, which you did by all by yourself. So, figure it out --
other's have without problems.

Just for grins, tell us the steps you took to unsubscribe.
There is a link at the bottom of every email inviting you to unsubscribe. So
I'm sure you began there.
Tell us where it failed.

honestly, if he responded to either of the two un-subscribe submissions
that I submitted for him, he is probably off the list already.

Ahh, the old sequence bug. Funny how variables have to be set before
they contain the values you want -- been there a few times.

I am using str_replace to strip double quotes.
$string = 'This string has "quotes" in it';
$string = str_replace('"', '', $string);
this seems to work, yet when I put the $string into mysql,
it uses backslashes to escape where the quotes were. The
double-quotes are gone, yet it still escapes the 'ghost'
where they were.
I even tried
str_replace(array("\x8c", "\x9c", "'", '"'), '', $string)
but the ghost remains and mysql continues to escape them.
I check the charsets, and the db is Latin-1 and the sting is ISO-8859-1
Any thoughts on this would be most graciously accepted.
Kind regards
kevin

is $string honestly something that you are getting via a form submit?
if so, your system might have magic quotes enabled.
This would automatically escape quotes with the attempt to make the
values safer, and then you go and run your str_replace command and
remove the double quotes, you end up leaving the '\' that the system
automatically put in the value for you.
read up on magic quote gpc
hope this helps.

You've been working on this "fantasy football league" thing for *years*.
You mean you still haven't gotten it off the ground yet?

I think the big problem here is that the words "fantasy" and
"football" really don't go together.
Like in the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show when a government agent
identified himself to Rocky as "Military Intelligence" and Rocky
replied "Sounds like a contradiction in terms."
