I'm building a webhook that will receive data from an external service.
In order to retrieve data, I'm using the following array:
$data = [
$_POST['aaa'],
$_POST['bbb'],
$_POST['ccc'],
$_POST['ddd'],
$_POST['eee']
];
Is it possible to build the same array without repeating $_POST? I mean something like:
$data = $_POST [
['aaa'],
['bbb'],
['ccc'],
['ddd'],
['eee']
];
Obviously, that code is wrong.
Thanks.
There's no shortcut like that. You could use array_map():
$data = array_map(function($key) {
return $_POST[$key];
}, ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', ...]);
$data = $_POST
This will build your new $data array the same way as your GLOBAL $_POST array including the POST Key names and their assigned values.
Also checkout extract($_POST), as this will extract each key to its same name variable, which may be easier to then reference in your web-hook or any functions or procedural code you uses from then on. This essentially does this:
$aaa = $POST['aaa']
$bbb = $POST['bbb']
$ccc = $POST['ccc']
The simplest way for me would be:
foreach($_POST as $value){
$data[] = $value;
}
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){
$data[$key] = $value;
}
foreach(['aaa','bbb','ccc','ddd','eee'] as $column){
$data[] = $_POST[$column];
}
$con = mysqli_connect('hostcleveranswer.com','USERyouearn','PWDanupv0Te','dropthemicDB')
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
$data[] = mysqli_escape_string($con,$value);
}
//i feel that was a good simple answer using tools without having to a learn a new function syntax
