How can I get list of POST fields in a second page?

[JamesB]

I have a form on a page that is built on results from a db query. The user
can tick boxes/edit fields etc, and then submit to a second page that will
update the db. How do I know what my POST fields are and how many in the
second page (I am naming my fields in the form on the first by being a
common name with a unique ID from each record on the front, ie. each record
has a id_name, id_email etc etc.
Yes, I'm a bit of a newbie to this...

Thanks for that - I seem to be doing something not quite right though! As a
test, I put a simple html form in a page:

<form name="form2" method="post" action="updateu sers.php">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox ">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox2 " value="checkbox ">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

on the updateusers.php page I put the command you gave, but all I get is:

Array
(
[Submit] => Submit
)And not the name of the checkboxes.Same occurs with my php-built table of
checkboxes and text fields (but I figure to get it working on something
simple first...)James

James,

You'll only get the checkboxes back if they are actually checked.

Try checking one (or both) of the checkboxes before clicking on Submit.

Ah, that works. Thanks for pointing that out!
