Help with a variable in html td

Dawie

Hi, what should "<?php $dat_name; ?>" in the coding below changed to to make it work? I want to use $dat1 to $dat10 in update_employee_changes.php
Thanks
Dawie

<html>
<body>
<form method=POST action="update_employee_changes.php">

<table align="center">

<tr>
<td>
<input type=submit value="Update">
</td>
</tr>
<?php
$count = 1;
while ($count <= 10)
{
$dat_name = ('dat'."$count");
?>
<tr>
<td>
<input type=text name="<?php $dat_name; ?>" value="justavalue" >
</td>
<?php
$count++;
}
?>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

what is the code producing now?

I do see that you don't kill your table row </tr> in the while loop. But that is another problem

If you have short tags enabled, you can do it like this...

"<?=$dat_name; ?>"

if not, do it like this ...

"<?php echo $dat_name; ?>"
