Making variables with an iteration?

I've got some inputs, which I need to tie down to only have 4 come in from. The javascript to verify it is working somewhat, however I want to create the parsing script to loop through the inputs (choice) and then dump them into $choice1, $choice2, $choice3, $choice4 respectively. I have to use checkboxes with different names with the javascript checkers I am using, since they seem to be working, however I can't seem to get the PHP in the parser to write the variables. Any ideas? <SNIP> for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++) { $choices.$j= $_POST['choice'.$i]; } Thanks, Robert -- Robert Sossomon, Business and Technology Application Technician 4-H Youth Development Department 200 Ricks Hall, Campus Box 7606 N.C.
