I am unable to retrieve the value of $referral_1 from:

$new_email = mysql_escape_string ( $_POST['referral_$i'] );

why?

PHP while lopp to check if any of the fields were populated:



$i=1;
while ( $i<= 5 ) {

     $new_email = mysql_escape_string ( $_POST['referral_$i'] );

     if ( strlen ( $new_email )>  0 ) {
....
     }

}


The form itself:


<form method="post" action=”website”>

<p style="margin: 10px 50px 10px 50px;"><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="60" 
class="referral_1" style="width: 400px;"></p>

<p style="margin: 10px 50px 10px 50px;"><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="60" 
class="referral_2" style="width: 400px;"></p>

<p style="margin: 10px 50px 10px 50px;"><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="60" 
class="referral_3" style="width: 400px;"></p>

<p style="margin: 10px 50px 10px 50px;"><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="60" 
class="referral_4" style="width: 400px;"></p>

<p style="margin: 10px 50px 10px 50px;"><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="60" 
class="referral_5" style="width: 400px;"></p>

<p style="margin: 10px 50px 10px 50px;"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add New 
Referrals"></p>

</form>


What am I doing wrong?

The Daniels are on the right track, but not very clear:

First, the <input> elements all have the 'name' attribute set to 'email' and the 'class' set to 'referral_1' etc. - I think you have that the wrong way round!

Second, using single quotes in the $_POST['referral_$i'] bit will not work (DPB is right there) - use $_POST['referral_'.$i] or $_POST["referral_$i"]
