Essentially, Ross, you can use $_POST variables as a regular associative
array. $_POST values come from the posted values in a form. If you have a
form element called table_name, and your form uses the post method (as
opposed to the get method), your script would have $_POST['table_name']
available to it. As the example below shows, you can then check its value.
The value of $_POST['table_name'] is the value that was entered in the
corresponding form element. In this case, you're looking to see if it's
equal to 1. If you want to output the value of a $_POST variable, you could
do something like
echo pThe value of table_name is {$_POST['table_name']}/p\n;
or if you don't have a free flowing input box you would probably want to
output the value with htmlentities or htmlspecialchars.
echo pThe value of table_name is . htmlentities($_POST['table_name']) .
/p\n;
I hope this helps. The previous posters are right though, there is lots of
documentation out there

How do I use $_POST with variables. Cant find an example of this anywhere
on php.net
if ($_POST['$table_name== 1']) {
$tablename = 'yourtable';
if (isset($_POST[ $tablename ]) $_POST[ $tablename ] == 1) {
echo $tablename, ' has been selected';
}
//do something
}
