Re: Is there an easier way of doing this?

["Richard Lynch" <ceo@xxxxxxxxx>]

for ($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++){
  if (isset($_POST[$i])){
    //insert blah blah blah
  }
}

Also, I don't think '1' is valid NAME for HTML specification.

You could use:

NAME="menu[1]"

Then in PHP:

$menu = $_POST['menu'];

for ($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++){
  if (isset($menu[$i])){
  }
}

And, of course, you need to scrub your data.
