Feature Request: Multiple Key Use in PHP

[theperfectwill]

Hi.

Maybe you thought of this when you meant from a developer's point of view... so to speak.

If not, this is a feature request.

As you know array keys are unique to their parent, but in UF they are not. They are unique globally.

The array below is how i would like to set up my array, but with UF this runs a validation error because each array key must be unique globally. So below where I have title, description, image I instead have to make them like facebook_title, facebook_description, facebook_image and twitter_title, twitter_description, twitter_image and so on.

Having to do this, with options like this can create quite a bit of extra coding because each index needs to actually be written uniquely as well.

I'm sure you understand, so I was wondering if this could be turned off for PHP, turned on for the UI only (as I see use there). I wouldn't necessarily turn it off for the UI because for newer devs or just others used to the interface, it would be good I think to help make sure they are coding uniquely, then they can change it in PHP if they decide to.

Thoughts?

            [search_engine] => Array
                (
                    [active] => 
                    [title] => 
                    [description] => 
                    [image] => 
                )

            [facebook] => Array
                (
                    [active] => 
                    [title] => 
                    [description] => 
                    [image] => 
                )

            [twitter] => Array
                (
                    [active] => 
                    [title] => 
                    [description] => 
                    [image] => 
                )

Hi.

I wrote this earlier and decided ot leave it for feedback and or reference.

As I thought about it... is this unique key method because of the way you need to call *_value() functions?

Meaning for the function to get the value simply, it needs to have all unique values, regardless of the array index?

If so, then I think that is ok and would be simpler overall when writing the frontend code.

Just wanted to know though.

Thanks! Appreciate it. 💯
