pipe feature in forms

[twoseven]

alright i have a form that gives as an example
value="Item name | Quantity | Unit Price"
now what would be the correct syntax for using it in

PHP Code:

<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"here\" /> 

would it be

PHP Code:

<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"item|quant|price\" />

I don't think you can use pipe in html. However, you can use a condition to check input value. i.e.

PHP Code:

if(($_POST[fieldname] == 'item) || ($_POST[fieldname] == 'quant') || ($_POST[fieldname] == 'price'))
{
// do what
}
else

in the manual i'm looking at says to use the pipe(|) to separate the 3 values

The " items_list" is sent with each item's name, quantity and unit price separated by the pipe (|) symbol as follows...
value="Item name | Quantity | Unit Price"

directly from the manual
is it possable that on their side they parse out the | so it gets passed as 1 string?

Did you already try your first example?

And what are you trying to achieve with this?
