Why not just make the form's input names "var[]" then PHP will make them into an array: for ($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++) { if ($var[$i -1] > 0) echo "Yup. ". $var[$i - 1] ." is greater than 0."; } "Martin Clifford" <MLC1@nrc.gov> wrote in message news:sd2ae23f.004@nrcgwia.nrc.gov... You would have to set up a dummy variable to hold the value of two concatenated variable names. I'd love to write an example, but work is draggin' me down, sorry!

I want to check the value of each of these variables: for($i = 1;$i < 100; $i++) { if($var$i > 0) echo "Yup. $var$i is greater than 0"; } I get a parse error when trying to run this code. Can I not use $i to call the $var1, $var2, etc. variables? Is there another way of doing this?
