Thanks for the quick response, that seems simple enough, but each row has
about 12 fields, so I just create 12 foreach statements?
Always CC the list..
Number the fields in the same way and you can do something like this:
$number_of_fields = sizeof($_POST['quantity']);
for($i = 1; $i <= $number_of_fields; $i++)
$name = $_POST['name'][$i];
$description = $_POST['description'][$i];
$qty = $_POST['quantity'][$i];
.....
}
and so on.
You'll need to add your own checks to make sure the fields are set
correctly..

I am having an issue with a form, basically an order form, with 10 rows.
Each row is the same, the rows are being generated by a loop and I am
appending the counter of the loop to the name of the form elements (i.e.
quantity1, type1, next row = quantity2, type2, etc)
I can't seem to receive the variables without using sessions, which I'm
trying not to do. If only the first 2 rows are being filled out and
submitted I need to be able to loop through, grab all the variables and
print them out. Can anyone give any suggestion?
Make them an array:
<input type="text" name="quantity[1]" value="X">
<input type="text" name="quantity[2]" value="X">
etc etc.
Then when you post you get an array of quantities which you can loop
through:
foreach($_POST['quantity'] as $p => $value) {
if (empty($value)) continue; // they didn't fill this field in.
....
}
