For a guess you are calling them all the same name. i.e.

<INPUT type="test" name="textbox">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox">

What you need to do is change the names to

<INPUT type="test" name="textbox[]">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox[]">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox[]">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox[]">
<INPUT type="test" name="textbox[]">

Then you will get an array of the values instead of them overwriting each other.

Thank You Very Much

But is i had written in previous mail i m generating the form obj dynamically so i m creating name of form obj dynamically.
If i add "[]" for all then i will get array for a one form object.

It is also very difficult to write a javascript as the form name contains "[]", and javascripts gives error for that.

Is there any other way to do it????

Hi.

If I can just clear something up...

are you generating the form name anything like this:

<form name="<?=arrayname[]?>" method="post" action="whatever.php">

???

If so, how come you are getting errors using javascript as the form name should not contain [] after it has passed through the php parser, i.e. if the script has been parsed then the client side javascript shouldnt have a problem.

If I'm on the wrong track please provide more info and I shall re-evaluate.

You could manually parse the query string variable. Using explode and splitting the elements into name and value.

Something like

input query_string is "var1=1234&var2=4432&var3=hello world"

<?

$bits=explode("&", $QUERY_STRING);
for ( $loop=0; $loop<count($bits); $loop++ )
{
$bobs=explode("=", $bits[$loop]);
// at this point $bobs[0] is the variable name and $bobs[1] is the value.
// do what you want with them here.
}

?>

Mark.
