Re: [PHP] foreach help

Well you could do

foreach ( $_POST as $var )
${$var} = ( isset($_POST[$var]) ? 1 : 0);

but that's really sloppy. If possible, I'd go more for something like

$vars = Array(
'noPlatform',
'littlePlatform',
'lotsaPlatform',
'yoMommasaPlatform');

foreach ( $vars as $v ) {
${$v} = ( isset($_POST[$v]) ? 1 : 0 );
}
