Brent,
Thank you , I can't do an associative because it part
of a user input form. The values will be dependent on
the users. I'm going to try and give each form
element a index number skill[0], skill[1] since the
foreach loop is doing that anyway.
The reason I haven't posted the validation is because
it's part of a class, so what exists in the page is
only part of the code.
