I might be wrong but I don't think you can reference variable names in that
way. You probably need something like this:
for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++)
{
$tempChoice = "choice" . $j;
$$tempChoice = $_POST['choice'.$j];
}
And that should create your $choice1.. $choice2 etc.

Subject: Making variables with an iteration?
I've got some inputs, which I need to tie down to only have 4 come in from.
The
javascript to verify it is working somewhat, however I want to create the
parsing script to loop through the inputs (choice) and then dump them into
$choice1, $choice2, $choice3, $choice4 respectively.
I have to use checkboxes with different names with the javascript checkers I
am
using, since they seem to be working, however I can't seem to get the PHP in
the
parser to write the variables. Any ideas?
<SNIP>
for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++)
{
$choices.$j= $_POST['choice'.$i];
}
Thanks,
Robert
