Re: TIP parsing form row data into variables

Nothing appears blatently wrong in the code you provided, but it's 4am here, so I might be off. This comes to my mind: 1. $_REQUEST was available from PHP 4.1.0 and later, are you using somthing before that? 2. I assume you're doing somthing with $e_id within your loop, or else you're just resetting the contents of it. 3. You might want to try print_r($_REQUEST) to see if it contains what you think it contains. George Pitcher wrote:

Hi all, This might be well known, so apologies if I'm going over old ground - I've not seen this explained this way. Last year I did a site using the variable variables method to parse row data. Now that I've moved to globals=off, I couldn't get that to work so I tried a few other options settling for the following: ('howmany' is the number of form rows on the previous page) $howmany = $_REQUEST['howmany']; for ($index = 1; $index < $howmany; $index++){ $e_id = 'e_id'.$index; $e_id = $_REQUEST[$e_id]; Then do something with it. Hope this helps someone. George in Oxford
