[PHP] RE: R: [PHP] Get "nice" variables from POST

[Mike Mapsnac]

I try to use quotes in the query and this doesn't work.
  $query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_id = '$_POST['user_id']}'";
But you use brackets and it works.. Why do you use brackets ?
$query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_id = ${_POST['user_id']}";

hi,

why don't you simple use the $_POST vars? they are already available to 
you,
so why you should copy them?

example:

function show_function()
{
   $query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_id = ${_POST['user_id']}";
   ....
}
at the same time:
- you save a lot of time ( you don't need to write code for copying vars )
- you can always identify in your script the variable you are using is the
one that comes from POST
cheers,

alessandro

Oggetto: [PHP] Get "nice" variables from POST
I have about 10 fields in the form. And I get the fields through POST:
//Get Variable from the form
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$password2 = $_POST['password2'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$nickname = $_POST['name'];
$city = $POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
$misc = $_POST['misc'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
It works but it looks ugly. For each variable I have statemet. Is there a
way to get the variables in the loop?
I'm looking for "nice" way to get variables from POST?

Thanks
