I am writing a PHP script that is going to accept variables that are

I can get the value that I want to retrieve with out problem. However,
even though I have searched through the PHP.net site and googled this
as well I have not yet been able to find the syntax that I need to get
the names of the variables in the $_Post array.
Can someone point me to the place in the PHP manual where I can find
the syntax to get the name of a variable in the $_POST array?
http://php.net/array_keys
As in...
$varnames = array_keys($_POST);

Hello Stut,
That is not exactly what I am looking for. If I try using that in My PHP
script what I get as a result of that is repeatedly the Phrase "Post Array"
when I check the values there. The PDF form that is posting to the PHP script
is passing variable names like "Employer_name" or "Employee_Name". I am
hoping to get those variable names.
Put this line at the top of the script that the form posts to...
print '<pre>'.print_r($_POST, true).'</pre>'; exit;
That will display the contents of the $_POST array and you should be
able to figure out where everything is.
By the sounds of it the posted values are actually in $_POST['Post
Array'] but use the above line to be sure.
