way to merge Hash (Array) dynamically?

[benaud]

I want to store key and values in one array. I am getting values through POST method.. If i get value then store in hash.. else not..

suppose

PHP Code:
<?php
$values=array // HASH ARRAY //
if($_POST['name']) { ('name'=>$_POST['name']);
if($_POST['email']) { ('email'=>$_POST['email']);
if($_POST['phone']) { ('phone'=>$_POST['phone']);

// How to create associative array for this type of condition ???? //
?>


I hope, you understand now, what i mean?? How to push above values in Associative array ?? (If i found value then and then it should be push else not) -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hi benaud
Try this code

# initialize
$values = array();

# if its set, set it(!) otherwise, leave the hash empty
$values['name'] = isset($_POST['name']) ? validate_function($_POST['name']) : '';

Another way of doing it is

PHP Code:
# initialize
$values = array();

# set and not empty?
if (isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name'])
{
# set it!
$values['name'] = $_POST['name'];
}
else
{
# error_handler
}
# you could then loop through $_POST with one of the above,
# and if the $_POST key is in your allowed key range, set it
# to your new array (presumably for creating a sanitized way
# of accessing the data)
