This auto-assign the next array index: 1, 2, 3, etc... just like in PHP: <input name="go[]" type="text" value="" size="5" maxlength="5" /> <input name="go[]" type="text" value="" size="5" maxlength="5" /> Then access $_POST: echo $_POST['go'][0]; echo $_POST['go'][1]; Or in a loop using your incremental var: echo $_POST['go'][$cnt]; -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
