Getting HTML form keys

[mpopnoe]

In ASP the request object has the key function allowing you to locate a value by location rather than name (handy on a dynamic form). I know about the $_REQUEST variable in PHP4 which I'm guessing I am to use. The php manual didn't make it clear for me so I was hoping someone could help me out. The ASP version that I am currently converting used the count of the request object to set upper limit for the loop and the key function to grab each location I needed from the dynamic form, then passed the key value to the item function for the value. I'm hoping to find a similar approach in PHP4 since it works so well in ASP.

thanks,
mike

ASP:
for each(item in Request.Form)
Response.write &quot;Element Name: &quot; & item & &quot;<br />&quot; & _
&quot;Element Value: &quot; & Request.Form(item) & &quot;<hr />&quot;
next

PHP:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value) {
print(&quot;Element Name: &quot; . $key . &quot;<br />&quot; .
&quot;Element Value: &quot; . $value . &quot;<hr />&quot;
} //end foreach
