This is by far the most elegent solution imo. It doeasnt rely on client-side functionality, is invisible to the user and still provides valid xhtml to boot.

If i could be so bold as to provide a slightly leaner alternative:
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val)
if(substr($key,0,1) == "#"){
$bits = explode("|",(substr($key,1)));
unset($_POST[$key]);
$_POST[$bits[0]] = $bits[1];
}
Us oldies hate typing ;)

Another way in PHP while (list($key, $value) = each(${"HTTP_".$REQUEST_METHOD."_VARS"})){ // Microsoft Internet Explorer don't likes http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#buttons // use for name="key" value="value" -> name="#key|value" if(substr($key,0,1) == "#"){ $aKeyValue = iErepair(substr($key,1)); $key = $aKeyValue[0]; $value = $aKeyValue[1]; $$key = $value; } } // -- IE Button Repair function iErepair($varName){ $array = explode("|",$varName); $key = $array[0]; $value = $array[1]; return $array; }
