How can I verify what is posted from an html page to another php page

[Michel]

I have an html + javascript page which contains a form used to collect and
send data like this:

<quote>

<form name="formlist" action="proposemove.php" method="post">
<table align=center width=280>
<script>
......
.....
document.write('<td width=60 align=center>');
document.write('<input type="text" name="movewhite[');
document.write(i);
document.write(']" size=5 style="height:21px"></td>');
document.write('<td width=60 align=center>');
document.write('<input type="text" name="moveblack[');
document.write(i);
.....
....
</script>

</quote>

In propose move.php I do :

<quote>

$movewhite=$_POST["movewhite"];
$moveblack=$_POST["moveblack"];
print ("<p> movewhite: ");
print_r($movewhite);
print ("<p> moveblack: ");
print_r($moveblack);

</quote>

to see the content of the arrays movewhite and moveblack and I get
displayed:

<quote>
movewhite: Array ( [0] => )
moveblack: Array ( [0] => )
</quote>


How could I verify what is really sent from my HTML pqge to my php page?

I don't know if I understand your question. I didn't see the relevance
of the JavaScript to the question. (Note: JavaScript is the tool of the
Devil.) It looks like you're having trouble seeing inside a variable
that has decided it is an array, though, so try this:

foreach($movewhite as $key => $value)
{
echo "<p>\$movewhite[$key] points to $value</p>";
}

foreach($moveblack as $key => $value)
{
echo "<p>\$moveblack[$key] points to $value</p>";
}

If they are arrays and they contain something, this should reveal what.
However, the message you are getting ([0] => ) seems to suggest that the
array is empty. Why, I don't know. As I say, I despise JavaScript. Tool
of the Devil. Ruiner of websites and inter-browser compatibility. So
many expensive, corporate, professional sites that only work in one
browser or another (usually only tested in the loathsome IE6). I don't
like the proprietary nature of Flash, but at least it works. (Not with
PHP, though, I dare say.)
