A good suggestion, Bj, but I won't be the guy making up the forms or
determining the fields. My code just needs to pick out one variable that
will be common to all forms and make a decision where to send it the form
results. R'twicks solution is better suited given that situation, but I
thank you very much for your help.

All the best,
Mike

Give all your form variables the same name with square brackets after (input
type="text" name="formvar[]") and they will go into an array.  To read them,
$vars = $HTTP_POST_VARS["formvar"] then you can use count($vars) to see how
many variables and each($vars) to get the values...
