How to retrieve values of all the fields with JInput but without jform[]

Question

As we know we can retrieve values of all the fields if they have names like name="jform[something]" and we can use the code:

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$formData = new JRegistry($jinput->get('jform', '', 'array'));

But is there some way to do the same if we have form with some name for example <form name="myForm"> and fields with names like name="something" i.e. without jform[] ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can get the form values without jform. Following is the approach:

• $data = $jinput->post : returns all post data
• $something = $jinput->post->get('something', 'default_value', 'filter');

Refer here:

https://docs.joomla.org/Retrieving_request_data_using_JInput#Getting_Values_from_a_Specific_Super_Global

• $data = $jinput->post->getArray() : this is the preferred method for you as it will return only the form fields with and without jform and not the entire post values.

Hope this helps
