Refreshing field values after post form

Anon

In the next example script, I need to add a new field to a table, remembering the data contained in the rest of the controls (this is an example, in fact it has select and textarea controls too), but it doesn't work. Is it ok? Thanks in advance:

 <head>
     <title>Example PHP</title>
 </head>



 <body>

 <form method="post">

 <table border=1>
 <?php

    for($i=1; $i<=$fields; $i++) {

 ?>

 <td><tr>
    <input type="text" name="field_<?php echo $i; ?>" value="<?php echo $field_{$i}; ?>">
 </td></tr>

 <?php } // end for
 ?>

 </table>
 <input type="submit" value="New record"
 onClick="form.action='<?php echo "$PHP_SELF?fields=".++$fields; ?>'; form.submit(); "
 >
 </form>
 </body>

"it doesn't work"

In what way?
There a parse error? If so on what line?

There's no parsing error. When you push the button to add a new blank field to the form, the old fields should keep the information the next time you submit the form, but the next time all the fields appear in blank.

I've found the solution. This is the script. Now it works as I expect. It generates a table with a text box (or other control) in each row keeping the information of the older rows adding a new record in blank:

<head>
<title>Example PHP</title>
</head>

<?php
for($i=1; $i<=$fields; $i++) {
?>

<td><tr>
<input type="text" name="field_<?php echo $i; ?>"
value="<?php

    // This is the changed code

$f='$field_'."$i";
eval("echo $f;");

?>
" >

</td></tr>

<?php } // end for
?>

</table>

<input type="submit" value="New record"
onClick="form.action='<?php echo "$PHP_SELF?fields=".++$fields; ?>'; form.submit(); " >

</form>
</body>
