I'm wondering if there is any sort of guarantee on the order of POST variables I will see on the server side.
My use case is I have a form that a user will fill out to enter a list of names and emails. I'm using a table rows, each of which has two inputs:
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type='text' name='name[]' /></td>
<td><input type='text' name='email[]' /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type='text' name='name[]' /></td>
<td><input type='text' name='email[]' /></td>
</tr>
</table>
The row might be cloned via javascript to allow the user to type in more names and emails so I won't know ahead of time how many will be submitted.
On the server side, I see $_POST['email'] and $_POST['name'] set but I am wondering if I can safely assume $_POST['email'][0] will correspond to $_POST['name'][0], $_POST['email'][1] will correspond to $_POST['name'][1], and so on. Some basic testing seem to indicate yes but I'm wondering if there is a guarantee or if I'm just getting lucky.
