Yes -- but how else are you going to get multiple values for each name from your form to your PHP script? Without the array subscripts on both category and rank, you will only ever get one category and one rank passed to your script. Using the above, just do: foreach ($_POST['rankid'] as $row, $rankid): // in here, $rankid is the value of the current rankid[] // $_POST['category'][$row] is associated category[] value // $_POST['rank'][$row] is associated rank[] value endforeach; Cheers!
