One of the major problems faced with dealing with forms, forms submitted, variables used in the form and to find out what exactly should the processing script expect in terms of variable names and variable values is to be able to process each variable which is passed through to the script.
The forms can be submitted using either the POST or GET methods. The function given below gets ALL (and we actually mean ALL!) variables passed through to the processing script, displays them in a table format - 2 columns for variable name and variable value.
This helps in making sure that proper / correct variables are used and processed. This is an excellent tool in debugging your forms.
| function display_post_get() {
if ($_POST) {
echo "Displaying POST Variables: <br> \n";
echo "<table border=1> \n";
echo " <tr> \n";
echo " <td><b>result_name </b></td> \n ";
echo " <td><b>result_val </b></td> \n ";
echo " </tr> \n";
while (list($result_nme, $result_val) = each($_POST)) {
echo " <tr> \n";
echo " <td> $result_nme </td> \n";
echo " <td> $result_val </td> \n";
echo " </tr> \n";
}
echo "</table> \n";
}
if ($_GET) {
echo "Displaying GET Variables: <br> \n";
echo "<table border=1> \n";
echo " <tr> \n";
echo " <td><b>result_name </b></td> \n ";
echo " <td><b>result_val </b></td> \n ";
echo " </tr> \n";
while (list($result_nme, $result_val) = each($_GET)) {
echo " <tr> \n";
echo " <td> $result_nme </td> \n";
echo " <td> $result_val </td> \n";
echo " </tr> \n";
}
echo "</table> \n";
}
}
// End of display_post_get | |

That`s a very nice way to display arrays :)
A much smaller solution that I use:
echo "<pre>",print_r($_POST),"</pre>";
echo "<pre>",print_r($_GET),"</pre>";
This also works for ANY type of array:
echo "<pre>",print_r($_SESSION),"</pre>";
echo "<pre>",print_r($_COOKIE),"</pre>";
echo "<pre>",print_r($users),"</pre>";
etc.
It`s not nearly as pretty as the solution posted above, but it works well enough.

Great code, easy to understand and re-tool for my purposes. I tried it and it worked, simple as that. Well documented. Thanks.

first, "to each their own..."
second, here`s mine:
# ---- DEBUGGER TOOL: DUMP INCOMING ---- #
function dumpIncoming() {
foreach ($_GET as $var => $value) {
print "G: $var = $value<br>\n";
}
foreach ($_POST as $var => $value) {
print "P: $var = $value<br>\n";
}
foreach ($_SESSION as $var => $value) {
print "S: $var = $value<br>\n";
}
foreach ($_COOKIE as $var => $value) {
print "C: $var = $value<br>\n";
}
}
