I am tring to store and display the number of requests that a user has submitted via a hidden field. I've created a form that does a some simple addtion. Everything works, but I need some direction as to how I can store each number the user puts in and to display them. Please see below: <?php if ( ! isset( $_POST['number1'] ['number2'] ) ) { $message = "Welcome to the numbers game!"; } $number1 = (int) $_POST['number1']; $number2 = (int) $_POST['number2']; $result = (int) $number1 + $number2; $num_selections = (int) $POST['num_selections']; $num_selections++; // this is my attempt at collecting // and displaying the numbers ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict/EN" "http://www/w3/org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>form</title> </head> <body> <h1> <?php print $result ?> </h1> <form method="post" action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"> <p> Type your number here: <input type="text" name="number1" /><br /> Type your 2nd number here: <input type="text" name="number2" /><br /> <p><input type="submit" value="submit" /></p> <input type="hidden" name="num_selections" value="<?php print $num_selections?>" /> </p> </form> </body> </html> thanks- ===== ---------------- "forget your lust for the rich man's gold.
