varibles assignment

[Anon]

hello,

i've the following problem with assigning variables in a form that allows to update n db fields based uppon the input of n form fields which are dynamicly created.

my enviorment: php 3/iis5 (although i don't think this info is needed since this seems to be a logical problem)

form1:

...

$id=odbc_result($result,1);
$text=odbc_result($result,2);

while (odbc_fetch_row($result)) {

		 echo "<tr><td><input name=name$id value=$text>

			}

...

so far so good.

form2:

now i want to assign the new value of the input field from form1 to a new variable let's say $b.

$b="\$".$id; assigns the name of the dynamicly created field in form1 to $b -

but how can i get the value?

thanks,
paul ingram.

When the first form is submitted, you should end up with a variable $id with a value being the content of your former $text variable.

So can you not access the value of $id just like any other variable ?

ie: $b = $id;

Or maybe I'm missing the point 🙂

hello,

when i tried to describe my problem yesterday it was alleready 8.am and >12h work were behind me. so am afraid my orig. description wasn't quite sufficient.

the problem is:

in form1 i create a input field and it's name is created automatically within a while loop. as the value of the submit button i use the id of the current recordset. ie:

while ... {

<input type=text name=namea$id><input type=submit name=sbutton value=$id>
}

now, when i submit the form i need to assign the value of the above input field to a new variable.

$b=namea.$sbutton gives me the name of the variable whos value i need. but how can i assign the value of the orignal variable (now the value of $b) to a variable ie. $c ?

thanks again,
paul.
