changing the value of a $_post or something?

**k0r54** · 02-18-2005 06:03 AM

Hi,

I am trying to get it so that when it echos out the message, it will echo out instead of FN, First Name.

I dont want it to change FN as i still want to reffer to it as $_POST[FN];, i just want $key to say a different name, perhaps there is a way i can create an asigned name or tempery name.

Here is my code

PHP Code:


<?PHP



if ($_GET[validate] == 1) {

    

    foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {

        // make sure it is filled out

        if (empty($val)) {            

            $error_msg = "$key must be filled in.\n";

            $errors = true;

        }

    }

}



?>

<html>

<body>

<!-- Page Errors -->

<?php if(isset($errors) && $errors){ ?> 

<?php echo $error_msg; } ?>



<form method="post" action="<?PHP $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?validate=1">

    <input name="FN" type="text">

    <input name="" type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>

Any ideas

Thanks
Adam

Riiight, I think this is what you're getting at:

PHP Code:


<?php

//Form an array of descriptions for each field

$desc['FN'] = 'first name';

$desc['LN'] = 'last name';

//Your thing again

foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {

if (empty($val)) {            

$error_msg = "$desc[$key] must be filled in.\n";

$errors = true; 

?>
