Is the 'name' attribute depreciated in XHTML1.0 strict? If so how do i get around the fact the PHP only processes raw post data if its passed using the name atribute. Does anyone know how to get PHP to play ball?
For form controls (but not the FORM itself) name is still a valid attribute, even in XHTML 1.1
In the XHTML 1.0 strict DTD, under the form section, it even says in a comment for inputs:
"the name attribute is required for all but submit & reset" http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
If you look at the changes of XHTML 1.1 from 1.0 strict, the second note states
"2. On the a and map elements, the name attribute has been removed in favor of the id attribute."
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/changes.html#a_changes
So, no change there...name has not been *deprecated* (if in doubt, create a small test page and yank it through the validator).

Well, it *does* concerns standards, so I'd say it's ok...
