Is there any easy way of extracting GET and POST variables? I'm writing a guest book that will use both get and post methods and wondered what the best method to use is to get these variables.
So far I have used the following code:

which gives me all the array keys:
Array ( [0] => name [1] => email [2] => homepage [3] => url [4] => comments )

The only way I can think of is to EXPLODE this, then pick out any array elements like [0] and => so I'm just left with the array keys, then go through these and get the values, which seems very long winded.
I have looked through the PHP website and cant find anything that might be useful, so help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

If your script accepts both (i.e. $_GET and $_POST) you can retrieve the super global array $_REQUEST instead.

Then, about getting these 'extracted', you can read up on the PHP function extract() and see if that does what you want it to do.

Thanks for that. It sounds just what I'm looking for. I found the following:

But as you can see this has to be done for $_GET and $_POST and my script will use both of these.
I will have a tinker with your example when I get back from work.

Many thanks
