dynamic input tyep text updates

hey all, I am trying to create a form that does the following: [ i have most of it done] 1. queries the db and gets the values of the ID, TITLE, and FILENAME columns in a table 2. creates a form with the TITLE <INPUT type="text"> with the filename echoed if it exists 3. on submission the form update the FILENAME field. I have completed up to step 2. I am not sure how i should name the fields to make this easiest. The purpose of the form is so i can insert a value for a picture that corresponds to each TITLE. here's some of my my code. this builds the form input fields. while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $id = $row['id']; $title = $row['title']; $filename = $row['filename']; $form .= "$title <input type=\"text\" name=\"$id\" size=15 maxlength=20"; if ($filename) { $form .= " VALUE=\"$filename\""; } $form .= "><br>"; // end while } this is the INSERT that does not work yet
