note 19947 added to language.types.array

For forms I use "${$foo}" thing: if ($action=="") { echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"form.php\">"; $amount=3; //(or input on another form) For ($loopVar=0; $loopVar<$amount; $loopVar++) { printf ("Input number %s <input type=\"text\" name=\"%s\">", ($loopVar+1),$loopVar); } echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"submit\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"amount\" value=\"$amount\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"submit\"></form>"; }elseif ($action=="submit") { for ($loopVar=0; $loopVar<$amount; $loopVar++) { $input[$loopVar]=${$loopVar}; } } I like this way best. You can also have multiple inputs. Just for the second "printf()" use: printf ("Input number %s <input type=\"text\" name=\"%s\">", ($loopVar+1),($loopVar+1)*1000000); and for the loop change ${$loopVar} to ${$((loopVar/1000000)-1)}; That is so that you don't have 2 fields the same "name=" unless the person asks to input more than 1 million numbers... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19947 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19947 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19947
