Using variable variables

[cefas]

Oke, here's my problem.
I have 3 page's. The first page ask for a number
The second page generates the given amount of textboxes.
The third one has to be able to check the values of (all) the textboxes.

The name of the textbox in the second page is the name of the variable in the third page.

Now the code on the second page looks like this:

for ($i = 1; $i <= $amount; $i++) 
{
   ?><INPUT TYPE='text' NAME="<?PHP echo "number".$i?>" SIZE='20' MAXLENGTH='30'><BR>
}

How can I get the results in the third page??

Thanks a lot for reading (and reacting?!)

You need to pass the variables to in using the hidden form fields.

In this case what should be the code of page 3???

[Jesteruk]

for ($i = 1; $i <= $amount; $i++)
{
echo '<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="boxes[]" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="30"><BR>';
}

Now, that will submit each text box as an item in an ARRAY. In the third page, try this.

foreach($_POST['boxes'] as $key = >$boxes) {
/ do whatever you want with the data in $boxes
$key would contain the array "key" and $boxes would contain the value associated with that key. /
}

use:

$num_boxes = array_count_values($_POST['boxes']);

to count how many boxes were submitted.

That help any?
