RE: [PHP] Variables in variable names

Yes! Add '[]' to the end of the name. This will inform php that all fields with that name should be put into an array after submission. e.g. <FORM... <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name[]"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name[]"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name[]"> ... After submit php will have created an array called $name with 3 entries. -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: seriousj [mailto:icjfm0@yahoo.com] Sent: 09 May 2001 12:20 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Variables in variable names The info is stored in the variables intitally by information entered by a user on a webpage, can you have the browser store the info in an array and have it passed by a form "post" command?
