".$name.Array["last"]; That assumes register_globals is ON, though, which isn't recommended. If you read the questions, the poster talks about using the value such as $_POST['name.Array'], which is valid. Since it's encouraged to have register globals OFF, I think they should do aways with this period to underscore thing, also. It will only jack up people's code that rely on register_globals and they should be changing it anyhow. ---John Holmes...
