Thanks for the tip. This requires you know what the elements of the form
are, though. Like I said, if you know what's in the form, this whole process
is pretty trivial.
I want to take an unknown form, receive the data, then redisplay the form
with the form elements gone and the values submitted replacing them. My
personal needs incorporate sending this in an email, but that's the easy
part.
<input>, <select> and <textarea> elements will be easy, I think. You can
just replace the whole element with a post variable matching it's name.
$page = preg_replace('/<input type="text"
name="([^"]+)"[^>]+>/ie','$_POST[\'\1\']',$page);
The checkboxes and radio buttons would be a little harder.
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="2">
I'm thinking this will take two passes. First match the names of each
checkbox or radio button. Once I have the $name, I can say
$_POST[$name][$_POST[$name]] = $_POST[$name];
resulting in
$_POST['foo']['1'] = 1
if the first checkbox was selected.
Then, do a replace
$page = preg_replace('/<input type="checkbox" name="([^"]+)"
value="([^"]+)"[^>]+>/ie','$_POST[\'\1\'][\'\2\']',$page);
Accounting for arrays would require something else and I'd obviously have to
account for extra attributes within the form elements. Anybody thing of
something that's more efficient? I'm still just brainstorming here. :)
