Looks like it should work in theory.

Did you actually test out the code before posting? 😐

i tested it but it is not giving me any values when i use this......

echo $txtarray;

Well you got 2 different codes posted, in one you use the seperate php/html trick, which has an error in it, txtarray should be $textArray[$i]

in the other you say you use echo $txtarray;

wich is still missing $, should be $txtarray[$i];

just do it this way,

for($i=0;$i<=10;$i++){
  echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"$txtarray[$i]\"> ";
}

oh yeah you do somewhere actually populate the $txtarray with values right?

Try using foreach:


foreach($i as $key => $val)
{
	echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"$key\" value=\"$val\">";
}

As long as you declare an array $i, and assign some values to it, such as:


$i = array ("Bert", "Sharon", "Betty", "Harry");

This should output a text input box for each value in the array.

Hope this helps.
