Changing the name of a $ POST variable

want to change the variable name not the data!

Hi can anyone help, here's the scenario:

A page of mine shows this type of thing;

Item-----------Stock------Required-----Picked
Beach Ball-------9-----------3--------text_box_1
Bucket-----------4-----------1--------text_box_2
Spade------------3-----------2--------text_box_3

submit_button

The text box is part of a foreach loop, it adds the number to the end.

Once you submit, on the next page, I think i need another foreach loop to display the numbers keyed in each text box.
ie:

echo $_POST['textbox1']; print '<br>';
echo $_POST['textbox2']; print '<br>';

etc, for every textbox there is. I also pass a hidden variable with the total number of textboxes.

Any geniuses out there can help?
Cheers in advance

oh right, okay well that was easy....

for ($x = 1; $x <= $_POST['totallines']; $x++) {

print $_POST['orderdetailsid'.$x].'<br>';

} //end for loop

sometimes just by posting the answer becomes clear ;)

nice work

[jatar_k]

how about this as an alternate

$count = 1;
while (isset($_POST[{'textbox' . $count}])) {
echo $_POST[{'textbox' . $count}],'<br>';
$count++;
}

I think I got that syntax right. It won't care about totallines, it will just keep going until the var isn't set

Hey! Nice one!
Will use that code from now on, one less variable to worry about :-)
