Hi experts, I'd like your advice on the following as to how to approach/resolve. I'm generating a form based on a user input number, say 3, where 3 lines for input for a few fields are created. What would be the appropriate way to append these 3 seperate lines into the table all at one go? I have tried to name the input fields per its corresponding line number (not sure yet if it properly is working though). I have given the code for the form below. I tried to use a similar approach for the $sql (whit while) but apparently either the form or the sql is failing. Any help, pointers, advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Alp Code: print '<table width="545" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr>'; print '<form action="test1.php" method="POST">'; $i = 1; while ($i <= $tour_days) { print '<input type="hidden" name="tourdays" value="'.$tour_days.'">'; print '<input type="hidden" name="tourid'.$i.'" value="'.$tour_id.'">'; $days = ("Day&nbsp;0".$i); print $days; print '<input type="hidden" name="dayno'.$i.'" value="'.$days.'">'; print '</td>'; print '<input type="text" name="fromto'.$i.'" size="50"></td>'; print '<input type="text" name="bld'.$i.'" size="10"></td></tr>'; print '<tr><td colspan="3">'; print '<textarea name="descrip'.$i.'" rows="5" cols="80" wrap="virtual"></textarea></td></tr>'; $i++; } print '</table>'; print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"submit!\">\n</form>\n";
