Subject: [nycphp-talk] Cycling through posted variables


I'm trying to cycle through the "fields" posted through a form submit. I
need to cycle through the "fields" because I won't know the names of the
fields since the field name actually represents a value. I tried going
through the $HTTP_POST_VARS route and $_POST. Since this is suppose to be an
array, I thought I could cycle through using something like $_POST[0][1],
but this doesn't seem to work.
For testing, if I do $_POST["Game1"], then it works. Any ideas what I'm
doing wrong or a better approach?

Why do I need to do something like this? Well, I'm designing a system to
handle a football pool I manage every year. This piece is for submitting a
users picks for the week. I want the field name to be the Game ID and the
value would be the Team ID. The picks screen uses radio buttons and the user
picks the winner for each game. All games for the week (~12) are displayed
at once for convenience.

I'm using PHP 4.1.2 (on OSX), but can upgrade if need be. I probably should
anyway.

Thanks
