Using HTML Fieldsets For PHP Form Arrays

I know you can use name arrays for multiple form inputs (e.g. , but can this also be used for entire fieldsets? How would this be manipul

Solution 1:

Alternatively, if you want such grouping you could create a grouping in your form such as this: consider this example:

<form method="POST" action="">
    <fieldset>
        Username: <input type="text" name="player[0][username]" />
        Points: <input type="number" name="player[0][points]" />
    </fieldset>

    <fieldset>
        Username: <input type="text" name="player[1][username]" />
        Points: <input type="number" name="player[1][points]" />
    </fieldset>


    <br/>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

When you process it:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $all_players = $_POST['player'];
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($all_players);
    echo '</pre>';
}

It should yield something like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [username] => Test1
            [points] => 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [username] => Test2
            [points] => 2
        )

)
