The other suggestion is a good one but if you want to do it with the variables as you named them you can also use something like this: for ($i = 0; $i < $maxlines; $i++) { $tax = $_POST['tax' . $i]; $amount = $_POST['amount' . $i]; $type = $_POST['type' . $i]; ..... } There is more one should usually do here, for security -- anything coming in via _POST should be processed through functions designed to remove malicious data. For example, an approach something like this: $value = strip_tags((substr(trim($_POST[$fldname]), 0, MAX_LEN)); -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
