Sorry, I see that I've got the a's and q's mixed up. I'll try to clarify it some more by giving an example with 2 variables. $q1 = "first_var"; $q2 = "second_var"; for($i=1;$i<=2;$i++) { echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"q$i\" value=\"$q$i\">\n"; } The output should now be: <input type="hidden" name="q1" value="first_var"> <input type="hidden" name="q2" value=\"second_var"> Hope you can help me, Marcel ----- Original Message ----- From: <no-spam----me@larrykagan.com> Newsgroups: php.db To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 3:24 AM Subject: Re: problems with variables > Marcel <m.h.a.reuvekamp@student.utwente.nl> wrote: > Can you clarify?
