Submitting fieldsets

Question

I have fieldsets in my form like this

$form['fieldset_1']['name']

and then

$form['fieldset_2']['name']

but when I submit the form and access the values item in $form_state there is only one name value - not as expected ['fieldset_1']['name'] and ['fieldset_2']['name']

can someone help how the form could be submitted and to have access to bot name values ?

You can use the #tree property on both fieldsets, e.g.

$form['fieldset_1'] = array(
  '#type' => 'fieldset',
  '#title' => t('Title 1'),
  '#tree' => TRUE,
);

$form['fieldset_1']['name'] = array(
  '#type' => 'textfield',
  ...
);

$form['fieldset_2'] = array(
  '#type' => 'fieldset',
  '#title' => t('Title 2'),
  '#tree' => TRUE,
);

$form['fieldset_2']['name'] = array(
  '#type' => 'textfield',
  ...
);
