What Bob said, and, may I suggest that arrays would be a better way to
go here?
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];
