PHP Get input name - php

Question

Upon posting a form using _GET I would like to get the input name
See below part of url upon submit
.php?14=0&15=0&16=0&17=0&18=0&19=0
I know how to get the variable E.G:
$14=$_GET["14"];
Which is 0
However is it possible to do this and get the input name (eg 14) and then turn these into variables? (To save the input name to the DB)

Answer 1

To get all the $_GET parameters, you can do:
foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
echo "Key is $key and value is $value<br>";
}
This will output each key (14, 15, 16 etc) and value (0, 0, 0 etc).
To bind a variable name with a variable string, look at variable variables:
foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
$$key = $value;
}
As a result, you will have the following variables with the following values:
$14 = 0;
$15 = 0;
$16 = 0;
// etc...
Alternatively (as you don't necessarily know what the key/value pairs would be), you could create an empty array and add these keys and values to it:
foreach($_GET as $k => $v){
$arr[$k] = $v;
}
The resulting array will be:
$arr[14] = 0;
$arr[15] = 0;
$arr[16] = 0;
// etc...

Answer 2

Solution using single loop (Update):
If you're just using question/answer single time you can do it in single loop like this,
<?php
foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
$question = $key;
$answer = $value;
// Save question and answer accordingly.
}
If you will be using question answer to perform other things, use the following method.
You can get all the keys using array_keys(), where $_GET is an array.
Use it like this,
<?php
$keys=array_keys($_GET);
print_r($keys); // this will print all the keys
foreach($keys as $key) {
// access each key here with $key
}
Update:
You can make a pair of question,answer array and put it in the main array to insert it in the database like this,
<?php
$mainArray=array();
$keys=array_keys($_GET);
foreach($keys as $key) {
// access each key here with $key
$questionAnswerArray=array();
$questionAnswerArray["question"]=$key;
$questionAnswerArray["answer"]=$_GET[$key];
$mainArray[]=$questionAnswerArray;
}
// Now traverse this array to insert the data in database.
foreach($mainArray as $questionanswer) {
echo $questionanswer["question"]; //prints the question
echo $questionanswer["answer"]; // prints the answer.
}
