Here's the code
<?php
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $Index=>$Value) {
echo "DEBUG ::: POST Key: $Index; POST Value: $Value<br>\n";
}
?>
### Here's the function (this is how what I catually use).
function PrintVars () {
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $Index=>$Value) {
echo "DEBUG ::: POST Key: $Index; POST Value: $Value<br>\n";
}
}
The first snippet seems to work fine by itself, but if call it as a function
(as the latter snippet) then it doesn't print the variables. I have the POST
array defined as global (in the function), could that be why it takes out
the empty textbox variables?
