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
What is the expected order of an array submitted in an HTML form?
According to the HTML specification:
The control names/values are listed in the order they appear in the document

However, it's better coding practice to employ an indexed array approach as shown in prodigitalson's answer.
