Before we get too carried away here :), what didn't work with your original
solution? I would have guessed that it would work. What was the error?
But, here's some more with the loop, definitely not tested:
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
if(is_array($val)) {
if(count($val) > 0) {
reset($val);
while(list($key2,$val2)=each($val)) {
$GLOBALS[$key][$key2] = $val2;
}
}
}
}
