personally, that's what i would do. dealing with arrays usually makes the code a lot cleaner and easier to follow than using awkward constructs like ${$C_Last}{$i} and besides, if you ever wanted to expand your code, you could easily pass the entire array to a function like so: children( $C_La

how about : if ((isset($number ))&&($number <= $max)){ while ($number > 0;$number -- ) { echo 'Last Name';} } if you're not crazy about having the fields labled in reverse order you could push to an array and then arsort the array. Ma

you should make the form names C_Last_Name1, C_Last_Name2, C_Last_Name3 and then have a hidden variable saying the maximum, then make a small routine on the receiving page which loops 1 to the max and uses array_push to make an array of children names. Check for empty() so that way is someone f

you should change the form field names to $Children_Last[1], $Children_Last[2] instead of hardcoding $Children_Last1 to make iteration thru the form easier and handling of the data easier... you can handle it all like this: $Number_Children = 5; $i = $Number_Children; while ($i--) { i
