Re: note 29659 rejected and deleted from language.variables.predefined by notes editor victor

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have ended my note with "any suggestions?" However, what I posted would have been useful to others. Without the cries for help of course. Man, I always do something stupid like that. It's a shame I couldn't just state the problem and then shut up. Would that have stayed posted? Anyway, I think php.net is a great site. Keep up the good work.

Your note has been removed from the on-line manual. ----- Copy of your note below ----- This is in addition to pschulten at NOSPMweb dot de and slandau at miticom dot com. If you need to access $_POST variables where the form element names were duplicated such as <input type='text' name='my_field'> <input type='text' name='my_field'> <input type='text' name='my_field'> you do need to rename to <input type='text' name='my_field[]'> <input type='text' name='my_field[]'> <input type='text' name='my_field[]'> when you do that, you can access them like this $_POST[my_field][0] $_POST[my_field][1] $_POST[my_field][2] however, and if you know a way around this please help, you can no longer process these form elements as an array using JavaScript For example: for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { document.form_name.my_field[i].value = 'whatever'; } you will get an error saying document.form_name.my_field has no properties or at least I got that error Any suggestions?
