Re: incrementing a register global

You try to increment value of a var! to change it name u have to add $i to it's name like this foreach($i=1;$i<=$boxes;$i++){ echo $_GET['name'].$i; } foreach ($_GET as $var_name=>$var_value) { $i++; echo $var_mane.$i; } if I correctly understand u ""Jay Blanchard"" <jay.blanchard@niicommunications.com> ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????: news:C8F323573C030A448F3E5A2B6FE2070B0430C846@nemesis... [snip] I dont know it this is possible, but here it goes. Hopefully I cac explain it well enough for someone to understand. I am posting data to a php script. I have several variables that are the same except the number at the end is different. So the url of the called script will be something like: http://www.something.com/test.php?name1=Sam&name2=Bill&name3=Joe On my script I am using substr() and strrchr() to get the number of last variable: $names = substr(strrchr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],"&"),7,1); I am then trying to run a loop to call each variable and just print it on the screen: for($i=1;$i<=$boxes;$i++){ echo $_GET['name'].$i; } This is where my problem is. And I dont know if this is even possible, but if you look at the echo line in the loop I am trying to add the number of $i to the register global. I dont get an error in doing this, but when I run the script I get the number of $i instead of the value of $_GET['name1'] Like I said, I hope I explained this good enough for someone to know what I am trying to do. If anyone has any suggestions or comments about doing something like this please let me know. [/snip] Your terminology is a little mixed-up, you are not dealing with a 'register global' you are dealing with a variable and an array. If you will do this... print_r($_GET); You will see am array. then you can do something like this..(without the substring manipulation above) for($i = 0; $i < count($_GET); $i++){ echo $_GET[$i] . "\n"; }
