http post and key value pairs

[aprinc]

I have to collect data from HTTP post. Data is send in key value pairs. I have to store value in databse.
How HTTP post is send ( how it looks when sending )?
<input type=text name=&quot;f_name&quot; value=&quot;$first_name => ADI&quot;> or ?

How to collect values? I know name of the key ($first_name) just need to collect value.Can not use function foreach()
because I use php3.

example of key value pairs:
$first_name => John
$last_name => Smith

Thanks in advance

Why don't you just use

<input type=text name=&quot;first_name&quot; value=&quot;ADI&quot;>

instead of

<input type=text name=&quot;f_name&quot; value=&quot;$first_name => ADI&quot;>

? This way you would be able to use the $first_name variable in your script and it would have the value ADI. //Daniel

So if you run..

foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
echo $key.&quot; => &quot;.$value.&quot;<BR>\n&quot;;
}

You'll get something like...

f_name => $first_name => John
l_name => $last_name => Smith
...

Right?

If so, then...

Something like...
foreach ($_POST as $value) {
$temp = split(&quot;=>&quot;, $value);
$value[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
}

Think I got that right...

You might want to strip off the $ too... though I left it because I believe there's a function which will convert the array that function generates directly to variables if they stay in that format... but I'm drawing a blank on its name.
