Turning a $_POST into a array

how do i make what i get from $_POST into a array?

$post[1] = $_POST('otherthing');
$post[2] =  $_POST('thingthree';```

is that what you mean? that should work...

EDIT: if thats not it try this: http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_filter_input_array.asp

i mean i have a text area, and i have multiple things in it seperated by lines, how do i put each line in its own spot, in the array?

oic, is this it? http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_array_sort.asp

if not heres a bunch of array functions maybe its one of these http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_array.asp

nope that wasnt it either, is there any other way i can run threw the value of each line?

The PHP post var is already an array, so unless you're filtering data, and then putting it into another array, there is really no point… Just use $_POST. But, here is my solution :)

$userInput = array();
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
    $userInput[$key] = $value;
}

If that's not what you're after, could you please explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve?

Good luck, -Jay.

i have a TEXTAREA and the USERNAMES are put on differant lines on the TEXTAREA, and i need to run THREW the USERNAMES and TRY TO LOG IN with them on a differant site

Then use Regex.

am i missing something?!

$_POST is an array in the first place.

but maybe you want this:

$name = Array( 'firstname' => $_POST['firstname'], 'secondname' => $_POST['secondname'] );

i have a text area, and i have multiple things in it seperated by lines, how do i put each line in its own spot, in the array Assuming you had a text area with the name "text" and the contents looked like:

username2
username3
username4```

If you wanted to put each of those usernames into an array like a[0]="username1", a[1]="username2" etc then I think darkcoder had what you wanted with:

> $a=explode("\n",$_POST["text"]);
but his post got deleted.
