            array
              0 => string '1' (length=1)

  • It's got nothing to do with PHP. A browser will not pass an array that is not a checkbox. The value in the second text input with the name of name="passname[name]" will overwrite the first value passed from the form. Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 10:15
  • No, the browser will happily send all input fields. PHP will overwrite the array element with the last value upon parsing the request. Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 10:17

  • One could use: file_get_contents('php://input'); to bypass php's default behaviour. Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 10:20

If you want to keep the passenger separated, you should build your form like this:

<form method="post" >
  <input type="text" name="passname[0][name]" /> <br/> <br/>
  <input type="text" name="passname[0][type]" /> <br/> <br/>
  <input type="text" name="passname[0][age]" /> <br/> <br/>

  <input type="text" name="passname[1][name]" /> <br/> <br/>
  <input type="text" name="passname[1][type]" /> <br/> <br/>
  <input type="text" name="passname[1][age]" /> <br/> <br/>

  <input type="submit" name="send" value="Submit" /> <br/>
</form>

then, once submited, your $_POST array will look like this one:

$_POST == array(
  0 => array(
    'name' => 'XXX',
    'type' => 'XXX',
    'age' => 'XXX',
  ),
  1 => array(
    'name' => 'XXX',
    'type' => 'XXX',
    'age' => 'XXX',
  ),
  'send' => 'Submit',
);

where XXX represents the user input data.

without the above mentioned type is possible
Is this a question or a comment? Anyway, if you do not require the type parameter, simply remove it from the form and the posted data will modify accordingly.
