Re: passing a variable

George you are doing this backwards. Someone posted the code to do this the right way last night. I would use the concatination of a third variable.

        $field = "blah";
        $loops = 10;

for ($i=0; $i < $loops; $i++) {

        $displayField = $field . $i;
        echo "<tr><td><input type=text name=\"$field\"
        value=\"$displayField\">\n";

I am trying to build a dynamic form, and I am using the code below to let the user ,name the fields that are generated,but i want to give the user the option of changing individual field sizes but I cant get it to work. TIA george for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++) { $fieldName = "field$i";

    echo "<tr><td><input type=text name=\"$fieldName\"
    value=\"${$fieldName}\">\n";

}

    echo "<input type=hidden name=\"fields\"
    value=\"$fields\">\n</td></tr>";
