Okay, so you've got a bunch of hidden elements all with the same name and a bunch of submit buttons with the same name. Which "number" do you expect the "submit" button you choose to send? It's only going to choose the last one, since that was the last "number" that was given a value. The easy way to do this would be to just send the value you're after as the value of your submit button. <input type="submit" name="number" value="<?=$myrow['id']>"> Or, you could put form tags within your code above, so each hidden element and submit button is it's own form. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
