perhaps you could use $file_name

Subject: Re: [PHP] Assigning unique form names...
Ok I understand what you mean here, however what I need to do is have a
unique form action for each separate form being displayed on the page which
totals 12... here is the code for the page:
<?php
$dir_name = "/path/to/images/directory/";
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
$file_list .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"**I need this to be a
unique file name**\" NAME=\"$file_name\"><SELECT NAME=\"files\">";
while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) {
if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) {
$file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\"
NAME=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>";
}
}
$file_list .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\"
VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>";
closedir($dir);
$table = "table_name";
$dbh = mysql_connect('localhost','user_name','password') or die('Could not
connect to database, please try again later');
mysql_select_db('db_name') or die('Could not select database, please try
again later');
$record = @mysql_query("SELECT wel_area, ad01_t, ad01, ad02_t, ad02, ad03_t,
ad03, ad04_t, ad04, ad05_t, ad05, ad06_t, ad06 FROM $table",$dbh);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($record)) {
list($wel_area, $ad01_t, $ad01, $ad02_t, $ad02, $ad03_t, $ad03, $ad04_t,
$ad04, $ad05_t, $ad05, $ad06_t, $ad06) = $row;
}
?>

Now for each form there is a resulting db query as well to show the current
contents of that db field. With the 12 forms I need 12 unique actions so
that each form becomes a separate form which links to a separate script to
place the results of an individual select box into the correct db field.
The method you showed me works for updating multiple fields at once however
I need to be able to make each select box within its own unique form. I
hope this clears things up as to what I am trying to accomplish. Any help
or pointers would be a great help at this point.
Thanks in advance,
Jas
