RE: [PHP-WIN] building a string question

Ron, What I do is this: Firstly, $howmany is passed as a final loopcounter from the form. for ($index = 1; $index < $howmany; $index++){ $varname = 'varname'.$index; $varname = $_POST[$varname]; //repeat process for $vars and do something } It works for me.
