Catch a double bracket variable on $_POST

[Logikos]

I want to use this in a hack i'm making


print_input_row($vbphrase['var_name'], 'var[setting][forumid]', $var['setting']['forumid']);


How would I grab the info to insert it in the database?

$_POST['var[setting][forumid]']; Doesn't work...

I see alot of people useing variables with double brackets like that, and I can't seem to understand it yet. Is there any time of tutorial like that?

Those are arrays :)

You can access it as $_POST['var']['setting']['forumid'] (and of course it should be run through clean_array_gpc).

To get a better understanding, print_r($_POST) might help.

Those are arrays :)Indeed, and damn useful things they are as well. :)

Perfect! :)

I have a hack that will have its own custom settings. Over 50 right now... I want to make it so when the user presses the save button, it updates everything quickly...

I don't want to have to have to add 50+ clean_array_gpc's... If i had something like this for example:


print_input_row($vbphrase['var_name'], 'var[setting][setting1]', $var['setting']['setting1']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['var_name'], 'var[setting][setting2]', $var['setting']['setting2']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['var_name'], 'var[setting][setting3]', $var['setting']['setting3']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['var_name'], 'var[setting][setting4]', $var['setting']['setting4']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['var_name'], 'var[setting][setting5]', $var['setting']['setting5']);


How would I call all of them eaisly with the clean_array_gpc, and insert them into the database?

A foreach(); maybe?

clean_array_gpc will take an array, you will still need to input every variable name, but its worth it.

A foreach wont work for clean_array_gpc
