I could try and explain my problem again but it would be easier if I just
include the code.
<?
if (isset($edit)) {
$select = mysql_query("SELECT * from table");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($select);
for($i=1;$i<=$num_rows;$i++){
$query = "Update table SET StartDate='$FormStartDate.=$i ' where id=$i";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("cannot update");
}
} else {
?>
<form method="post" name="edit server" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF
?>">
<?
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * from table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$StartDate = $row["StartDate"];
?>
<input type=text name="FormStartDate<? echo $id ?>" size="15"
value="<? echo
$StartDate ?>">
<?}?>
<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Update
Date"></form>
Because $FormStartDate1 is the name of the variable, I'm trying to recreate
the name of the variable with the for loop after "edit" is submitted.
Thanks again.
