Re: Variable $_POST vars?

Stephen, I'm using a template and so: <input name="item{number}" size=60 class="formdata" value="{item}"> becomes: <input name="item1" size=60 class="formdata" value="{item}"> ....and so on. But when I need to get the post data, I cannot access in the way I'm used to like: $var1 = $_POST['item1']; $var2 = $_POST['item2']; If its in an array, how do I loop thru a POST array?
