You forgot the array append operator:

	<input type="text"  name="xname[]" value="3303"
	<input type="text"  name="xname[]" value="9854"
	....
	<input type="text"  name="xname[]" value="n..."

I also took the liberty of adding double quotes to your attributes. There's no
excuse for writing slop.

To see what that produces... get used to doing:

echo '<pre>'."\n";
print_r( $_POST );
echo "\n".'</pre>';

Cheers,
Rob.
