Hi there,

Perhaps someone else has a better solution, but have you tried a
foreach() loop inside a foreach() loop? For instance:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {

if (is_array($value)) {

foreach ($value as $whatever) {
// do something
}
}
else {
// do something with $key and $value
}
}

Good luck,

Ed
