I have a form that when a user hit's submit $_REQUEST gets populated. The problem is that there are three separate areas on the form. The first area is called
Please_check_off_Business_Components_workedon and it can have from zero to many items. I need to take each item and write it out to a mySQL table. I am trying to get the number of items so I can iterate through each and write it out. But the following command to get the number of items is not working.
$iCount= count( $_REQUEST['Please_check_off_Business_Components_workedon', COUNT_RECURSIVE );
Has anyone used this command before? I thought about using element() but I think that might only work with the top level of the array. Once I get the $iCount my plan is to get each item with
for ($i=0;$i<$iCount;$i++)
{
$item=$_REQUEST['Please_check_off_Business_Components_workedon'][$i];
//write out to table
}
will this work on $_REQUEST?
