Collecting $ POST over and over again?

Not multiple selects, but multiple fields

[salewit]

I have a form that gathers this data:

Billing First Name (name=bfirst)
Billing Last Name (name=blast)
address1, address2, city, state, zip, country, email, phone, shipping name, shipping address1, etc. About 30 inputs.

When I go to take in these variables, is there any easier way of bringing in the variables other than:

$bfirst = $_POST["bfirst"];
$blast = $_POST["blast"];

through the whole list?

Thx

You can do what you're doing now or do arrays by saying something like name="address[]" to collect multiple addresses.

You might also be able to get away with using extract [php.net]() however it depends on your situation. Go with the solution above first if you can.

If you want to quickly assign your vars, you can loop through the post array and use variable variables.

foreach ($_POST AS $data)
{
$$data = $data;
}

Or just access the post vars directly without assigning to variables:

echo $_POST['bfirst'];
echo $_POST['blast']
