php - Skip Submit button in array_keys





I've got a PHP routine that processes a form and outputs the values to a CSV file. I'm using array_keys() to create the header row (skipped if there is one). Everything works perfectly except the final header term is "submit" because, of course, my form includes a Submit button. So the data ends up looking like this:



name,email,cell,dob,study,submit
"Temp One",fred@gmail.com,646-325-1111,1995-03-31,8,Submit
"Temp Two",tom@gmail.com,646-325-2222,1995-03-31,4,Submit



How do I omit the submit button both from the header and the data?



Here's my code:



if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$data = array_values($_POST); // get only values
$headers = array_keys($_POST); // keys are headers
if( $fp = fopen('data.csv','a+')) {
$line = fgets($fp);

if(!$line == $headers) {
fputcsv($fp, $headers);
fputcsv($fp, $data);
}
else
{
fputcsv($fp, $data);
}
fclose($fp);
header('Location: thanks.php');

}
}

Answer



Remove it from the array...



$post = $_POST;
unset($post['submit']);
$data = array_values($post); // get only values
$headers = array_keys($post); // keys are headers
