getElementValues() method

<?php
  function getElementValues( $addslashes )
?>

This method returns an array of element values. The only parameter it requires is the $addslashes parameter, which can be used to run addslashes() on all the values.

$values = $clonefish->getElementValues( 0 );
print_r( $values );

The output:

Array(
  'name'     => 'James Bond',
  'id'       => '007',
  'language' => 'en'
)

Clonefish is transparent by concept: if you use the magic quoting feature of PHP, you can use the following method to replace processing $_POST/$_GET/$_COOKIE/$_REQUEST arrays:

$form = new clonefish( [...] );
$form->addElements( $_POST, get_magic_quotes_gpc() );
print_r( $form->getElementValues( get_magic_quotes_gpc() );

This code will return the very same data as you'd get using print_r( $_POST ); for example - if your PHP is configured to use magic quotes, you'll have them in the end! To read more on handling quotes, see the Features section!
