for loops

[daleks]

I stored a list of names using the following code :

for($i=1; $i <= $numcan ; $i++) {
?>
<?='Candidate ',$i?>. <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=can<?=$i?> SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=50><BR>
<?
}


and i tried using :

for($i=1; $i <= $numcan ; $i++) {
printf("test : $can[$i]");
}

to test if they would be printed out successfully but all that i got was the word "test" printed out 3 times.
$numcam = 3

try

for($i=1; $i <= $numcan ; $i++) { 
print("test : " .$can[$i]); 
}
