Getting LABEL for=...

[Paul Lautman]

Hi y'all,
is there anyway that I can get the <LABEL for=... data from a form in PHP.

For example, if I have

<label for="name">Full name</label><br>
<input type="text" size="40" name="name" id="name"></p>

Can I get the fact that the label for "name" is "Full name"

TIA
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,

yes and no.

No: In your current setup you just send the formelements to PHP.
Tip: You can ALWAYS check what PHP receives by printing the $_POST, like
this:

<pre>
<?
print_r($_POST);
?>
</pre>

(The pre's are important, if you don't use them, it will be difficult to
decypher.)

Yes, by adding extra info to your form, probably with a hidden variable,
like this:
<input type="hidden" name="labelforname" value="Full name">
