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? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29659 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29659 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29659
