[FX.php List] Re-populating $_POST form data

[Andrew Denman]

OK, I didn't pay full attention before.

If you're trying to put all of the returned records into the $_POST, the
easiest way is:
$_POST = $findResult['data'];

(gives you $_POST['recid.modid']['fieldname'][0])


If you want the first record's data:
list($key,$values) = each($findResult['data']);
$_POST = $values;
$_POST['-recid'][0] = strtok($key, '.'); // optional
$_POST['-modid'][0] = strtok($key); // optional, requires previous line

(gives you $_POST['fieldname'][0] with first record's data)


And ditto Troy's comments...

I don't think you need the extra [$key], since the values have already been
pulled out of the array:

foreach($findResult['data'] as $key => $value)
	{
	$_POST[$key] = $value[0];
	}

Hi folks,

Am switching my way of working with form data. Where I have been 
using $_SESSION to display form values, I am reverting back to using 
$_POST.

<...value="<?php echo $_POST['fieldname'];?>" ...>

This a big form with a lot of fields. I am also attempting to NOT 
have to discretely parse out every field individually. I'd rather use 
a loop.

So, how do you parse the FMP foreach statement to re-populate $_POST 
valuse, so they can be re-displayed in a form. This is my latest 
attempt...but it doesn't work.

foreach($findResult['data'] as $key => $value)
	{
	$_POST[$key] = $value[$key][0];
	}

Thanks

Jonathan
