Form question

[axman505]

I have a form which prompts a user for a table name, and for a number of fields. This data is processes displaying a certain amount of fields in a new form based on the number entered by the user. The names of each field increment like:
name1
name2
name3

My problem is, i need to pass all these value to another form. How do i go about captures all this value into another form?

This is my incorrect thought process so far:

<?php
$num_fields=$_POST['fields']; // passes number of fields
print $num_fields;
$num=&quot;1&quot;;
for ($i=0; $num_fields > $i; $i++) {
$field$num=$_POST['field$num'];
$num++;
}
?>

Name the fields name[1], name[2] and so on and you would get an array to the next script. //Daniel

but hwat if name[1] hsa value, but name[2] doesnt, and name[3] does, can you have wholes between values?

You could use something like this:

foreach ($_POST['name'] as $num => $name)
{
    echo &quot;Name $num is $name.<br />&quot;;
}

//Daniel

here is what i got,

the form is generating names like &quot;name[$r]&quot; .. which will send all the values as an array named &quot;name&quot;

now, how to i captures this in the next form?? i tried this:

$test=array();
$test=$_POST['name'];

however that didnt seem to work .. any other suggetsions?

 

[danielhozac]

That should work. Did you try a print_r($test); after those two lines? //Daniel
