I am unable to retrieve the value of $referral_1 from: $new_email = mysql_escape_string ( $_POST['referral_$i'] ); why? PHP while lopp to check if any of the fields were populated: $i=1; while ( $i<= 5 ) {

The Daniels are on the right track, but not very clear: First, the <input> elements all have the 'name' attribute set to 'email' and the 'class' set to 'referral_1' etc. - I think you have that the wrong way round! Second, using single quotes in the $_POST['referral_$i'] bit will not work (DPB is right there) - use $_POST['referral_'.$i] or $_POST["referral_$i"] -- Peter Ford, Developer phone: 01580 893333 fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd. www.justcroft.com Justcroft House, High Street, Staplehurst, Kent TN12 0AH United Kingdom Registered in England and Wales: 2297906 Registered office: Stag Gates House, 63/64 The Avenue, Southampton SO17 1XS
