Insert data into array

Anon

<?
/*Inserting into array here works but,
when I hit submit button matrixname and matrixalias forgets
previous values.
One way is using cookies but the problem is that
I need insert hundreds of values.

The another way Is create temporary table but then I have to
create update delete this table all time.
*/

form();
if (isset($Name)) {
$matrixname[] = "$Name";
$matrixalias[] = "$Alias";

for ($i=0; $i<$rows; $i++) {
    echo "$matrixname[$i]   ";
    echo "$matrixalias[$i]<br>";
}

}

function form() {
echo "
<form>
<p>Name<input type='text' size='20' name='Name'>
Alias <input type='text' size='20' name='Alias'></p>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
";
}

?>

Im not really sure why you would want to mess with an array for this script. You only have a form with two fields, name and alias...

You need to set the action of the form to action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"

then you could test to see if the submit button was pressed by

if ($submit) {

loop stuff
insert to database
etc...

}else{

display form stuff here

}

Actually my script is much bigger, I created a smaller script beacause then is better to follow my script and what I want.
My problem is- when I hit submit array remembers entered values like aa and ee, but when I after that entering name and alias old values are replaced.I need that matrix groves and in matrix are aa ee name alias etc.

Hope you can help....
Thanx
