Re: Stings .. Strings .. Strings .. help

[html] <select name="var[]"> <option value="1">1</option> . . . </select> <select name="var[]"> <option value="a">a</option> . . . </select> <select name="var[]"> <option value="1a">1a</option> . . . </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> [/html] [php] foreach($_POST["var"] as $_key => $_value) { echo "$_value<br>"; } [/php] [result] 1<br> a<br> 1a<br> [/result] Mohd_q wrote:

I forget to say that the values in the form are in drop-down not text boxes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mohd_Q" <ma1420@hotmail.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 6:46 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Stings .. Strings .. Strings .. help

Unfortunately, no .. it doesn't work. I think if I do it using {}, it might work. Thanks J. Holmes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "1LT John W.

Say you have 3 text boxes, like this: <input type='text' name='var[]' value='one'> <input type='text' name='var[]' value='two'> <input type='text' name='var[]' value='three'> Then, on your processing page, you'll have a variable $_POST['var']

that'll

be an array that'll contain the contents of each text box. $_POST['var'][0] => one $_POST['var'][1] => two $_POST['var'][2] => three Does that help? ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mohd_Q" <ma1420@hotmail.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 11:30 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Stings ..

Name your form elements as var[ ], instead of var1, var2, etc, and

you'll

already have an array with $_POST['var'] that holds the values. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mohd_Q" <ma1420@hotmail.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 11:21 AM Subject: [PHP] Stings ..
