This probably works just fine in all browsers, but...
I don't THINK the HTML and HTTP specification specificially require
ordering of HTML/INPUT/POST elements to "match up"
In fact, as I recall (and it's been YEARS since I read the damn thing)
I believe they specifically said that the ordering was NOT to be
relied upon...
Though this may well have changed in HTTP/HTML 3.0, 4.0, XHTML, etc
vesions of specifications.
It also seems like rather needless bloat of HTML, to me, unless I'm
missing something.
$blah = isset($_POST['blah']);
//update or process $blah
If the processing of $blah is particularly expensive or heinous, and
it's a pre-existing preference type of setting, I can see the savings,
but given the overhead of checking every value going in/out to compare
before update, it seems like the overhead outweighs the savings, and
clutters up the code...
