Re: Why Arrays in Forms? ( Was "Accessing variables from a form" )

You don't have to specify them as "PHP arrays". You can do something like: <input type=text name="myArray[]"> <input type=text name="myArray[]"> <input type=text name="myArray[]"> <input type=text name="myArray[]"> PHP will create the array for you.
