How to group form's parameters for $_POST?

Ex. (HTML file)

<form name='test' method='POST'>

<input type='text' name='name'>
<input type='text' name='surname'>
<input type='submit' name='sub'>

</form>

Now in the PHP file I'll get the $_POST like:

$_POST['name']= something
$_POST['surname']= something
etc...

What about if I want to "group" that to made a $_POST like this:

$_POST[name-of-the-form]['name']= something
$_POST[name-of-the-form]['surname']= something
etc...

How could I do it?

Assuming you are doing this from a PHP file, you should use square braces andn the same name of in all element names:

<?php 
$formName = 'test';
?>
<form name='<?=$formName?>' method='POST'>

<input type='text' name='<?=$formName?>[name]'>
<input type='text' name='<?=$formName?>[surname]'>
<input type='submit' name='sub'>

</form>

AbraCadaver is spot on here, all you do is name your form element accordingly. e.g.

<input type='text' name='name-of-the-form[name]'>
