Equivalent behaviour to ASP with PHP???

[ethridgt]

Hello all,

I have a form that has multiple rows. I want to have a hidden input
that will have the same name in all rows, but the value will hold an
unique id for each row. With ASP, I can name all of the hidden inputs
the same and I will receive a comma separated string containing the
values. How can I do the same thing with PHP?

For example:

<form action="process.php" method="POST">
<input type=hidden name=id value=1>
<input type=hidden name=id value=2>
<input type=hidden name=id value=3>
<input type=hidden name=id value=4>
</form>

In my processing page with ASP the variable contents look like:

Response.Write("The value of id is: '" + id);

---

Which would display: 1,2,3,4

In php:

echo($id);

---

displays: 4

Any body have a solution? Thanks in advance.

this will not work in php. you have to rename the "id" to "id[]" and you will get an array containing the specified values.
