Access name attribute from HTML form with PHP

Using PHP CodeIgniter, I have a form with multiple numeric inputs, each with a unique name:

<td><input type="number" style= 'width: 40px' name="order<?php echo $bannerId?>" value="<?php echo $banner->b_order; ?>"</td>

I can access the field value using:

$_POST['order'];

but is there a way in PHP to access the name attribute itself, instead of the value?

So in the controller I can use the $bannerId variable echoed in the form.

Solution

  • Using array keys you could get all the 'names' and then loop over them:

    array_keys($_POST)
