[PHP] Getting form name
I'm trying to get the name of a form. I tried the following code, but
I guess the data in $_POST only contains data on the form elements
that go inside the form tags, but not info from the form tag itself.
Any suggestions on how to get the form name?
?
foreach ($_POST as $key=$value) {
echo $key . --- . $value . br;
}
echo hr;
echo form name=\myForm\ action=\test.php\ method=\POST\ value=\AAA\$
echo input type=\text\ name=\textbox\;
echo input name=\mySubmit\ type=\submit\;
echo /form;
?

Stick a hidden input field in your form that contains the name of it. You cannot extract it from any super-global, it's not passed in that way.

The easiest way is to set a hidden field which contains that information.. i.e. input type=hidden name=formName value=myForm / -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).

Hi Is there a way I can get the name of the form that has been posted? Looking at the form vars I don't see a name var or such in there.

From: "Matt Williams" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Is there a way I can get the name of the form that has been posted? Looking at the form vars I don't see a name var or such in there. TIA M@ The NAME attribute of the FORM element is intended for scripting purposes only. But you should be able to achieve the desired effect with a hidden INPUT element: form name="someform" method="POST" input type="hidden" name="formname" value="someform" /form Cheers Simon Garner -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
