Re: dynamic array creation from form elements

Hi, I've got a dynamically generated form and once it's submitted I need to _push the data from my form elements into an array so I can ad them to the db. My form elements are created like so: <?php $i = 1; while ($i <= $iListItems){ ?> <div class="row"> <div class="label">List Item <?php print $i ?>:</div><div class="formw"><input type="text" name="listItem<?php print $i ?>" size="40" /></div> </div>

Why don't you just skip the whole "$i" counter thing and name your input elements as "listItem[]" ? Name every one of them that; the same thing. Now when you submit your form, you'll already have an array, $_POST['listItem']. $_POST['listItem'][0] will be what was in the first one, $_POST['listItem'][1] in the second, etc. -- ---John Holmes...
