RE: [PHP] $_POST array order
Another option would be to use an associative array: input type=text name=domain_object_vars[FirstName] value=/ . . . . input type=text name=domain_object_vars[Zip] value= This way the 'submit' button wouldn't even show up as a key in the array, which is accessible to PHP through the $domain_object_vars array.

I would like to array_pop($_POST) to get rid of that last element for various reasons (validation scheme) later on..

I would like to array_pop($_POST) to get rid of that last element for various reasons (validation scheme) later on.. Regards, Tim No, it isn't always the latest element, they are stored in the way the were submit, and browsers like IE do this in order they are placed on the page. for example this form: form action='test.php' method='post' input type='submit' name='submit' value='Go!' input type='hidden' name='go' value='test' /form would return a $_POST array like this: Array ( [submit] = Go! [go] = test ) And so is submit the first element in the array and not the last one.

Sorry, no. The HTTP spec specifically allows the browser to order the args in any way it likes. I would like to array_pop($_POST) to get rid of that last element for various reasons (validation scheme) later on.. Would be better to always prepend button name with button_ or something, so you can walk the keys of $_POST and strip them out.

Can't rely on that these days. Don't remember which, but at least one of them sends the first encountered submit button.
