POSTing Form Fields with same Name Attribute

If you have a form containing text inputs with duplicate name attributes, and the form is posted, will you still be able to obtain the values of all fields from the开发者_开发知识库 $_POST array in PHP?


No. Only the last input element will be available.

If you want multiple inputs with the same name use name="foo[]" for the input name attribute. $_POST will then contain an array for foo with all values from the input elements.

<form method="post">
    <input name="a[]" value="foo"/>
    <input name="a[]" value="bar"/>
    <input name="a[]" value="baz"/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

See the HTML reference at Sitepoint.

The reason why $_POST will only contain the last value if you don't use [] is because PHP will basically just explode and foreach over the raw query string to populate $_POST. When it encounters a name/value pair that already exists, it will overwrite the previous one.

However, you can still access the raw query string like this:

$rawQueryString = file_get_contents('php://input'))

Assuming you have a form like this:

<form method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="a" value="foo"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="a" value="bar"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="a" value="baz"/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

the $rawQueryString will then contain a=foo&a=bar&a=baz.

You can then use your own logic to parse this into an array. A naive approach would be

$post = array();
foreach (explode('&', file_get_contents('php://input')) as $keyValuePair) {
    list($key, $value) = explode('=', $keyValuePair);
    $post[$key][] = $value;
}

which would then give you an array of arrays for each name in the query string.


Instead of name="nfo[val]" just use name="nfo[val][]" and in PHP you can use a foreach()

HTML code:

<form method="post">
    <input name="nfo[val][]" value="val1"/>
    <input name="nfo[val][]" value="val2"/>
    <input name="nfo[val][]" value="val3"/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

PHP code:

$output='';
foreach ($nfo['val'] as $key=>$val) {
    $output.= $val.", ";
}

$output will be: val1, val2, val3

Hope this helps!


You have to create an array of them: with name=inputname[] and get with post,request or get

$inputs = $_POST['inputname'];

print_r($inputs);


Only if the name are array-typed names[] in that case you will be getting an array as the variable in the $_POST variable.
