for some reason or another I can seem to get this to work scoured the PHP manuel for hours ...
I looking for function to auto create variables from a HTML form using the name="" ($key) as the new $variable = " value="" ($value)"
what I have so far:

PHP Code:

foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value){ {$key} ". "=" . "$value";} 

For each input from the form Desired output :
$f_name = 'james';
$l_name = 'williams';
$phone = '5671230943';
etc...
Needed to utilize value later in script
Thanks for taking a look

You can use http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php:

Warning
Do not use extract() on untrusted data, like user-input ($_GET, ...). If you do, for example, if you want to run old code that relies on register_globals temporarily, make sure you use one of the non-overwriting extract_type values such as EXTR_SKIP and be aware that you should extract in the same order that's defined in variables_order within the php.ini.

PHP Code:

<?php

foreach ($_REQUEST as $k => $v)

{

        $mVariable=$k;

        $$mVariable=$v;

}



foreach ($_REQUEST as $k => $v)

{

        if (isset($$k))

                echo $k.' is variable '.$k.' and has value '.$$k.'<br />';

}



unset($a,$b,$c);



extract ($_REQUEST);



foreach ($_REQUEST as $k => $v)

{

        if (isset($$k))

                echo $k.' is variable '.$k.' and has value '.$$k.'<br />';

}

?>
