$_REQUEST contains everything in $_GET and $_POST.

so, to read every variable sent over, you would just need to loop through the $_REQUEST array.

never tried to make one myself, but you could take the drupal approach. they define forms in arrays. then there's a separate 'validate' handler function, and then a 'submit' handler.

here's an example of a form element defined in drupal:

PHP Code:


		
			
$form['value1'] = array(
      '#type' => 'textfield',
      '#title' => 'Value 1',
      '#size' => 4,
      '#maxlength' => 4,
      '#description' => 'The first value to perform the multiplication with.'
);

so you could take a structure like that and dynamically create your form. then, you could loop through the request vars to validate and submit. how to make that really generic may be tricky.
