Hi All, Quickie Question... Possibly a silly one; but it would make my life easier if it works! I know that with a SELECT MULTIPLE, you have to use the convention: NAME="$varName[]" to get all of the responses into a nice neat array. I'm wondering about the mechanism behind this - is it simply doing a behind-the-scenes "$varName[] = X;", "$varName[] = Y;", "$varName[] = Z;".... operation to dynamically generate the array? (Note: this is not my main question - keep reading. :-P ) If so, then it would follow that it's also possible to do something like this: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="$varArray[1]"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="$varArray[2]"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="$varArray[3]"> ... And get a nice array with your text values. Anyone know if this (A) works and (B) is not actually just some undefined behavior that's risky to use? Thanks! Take care, --Noel
