Ummm...that's because you're not initializing it. Of course it's adding new radios to the array every time. Either initialize it inside the loop ($ma = array()) or set all 3 in the initialization: $ma = array(HTML_QuickForm::createElement(...), HTML_QuickForm::createElement(...), ...); > > I need to figure out a way dynamically change the > variable name, $ma, to $ma.$row[0] or something like > that. > > I tried $ma.$row[0] and it throws error: > Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' > > Any ideas how to accomplish this? > Just use an array of arrays $ma[$num][0], etc. -- Justin Patrin
