HTML tags with the same name

[esmejo]

How do I account for array html tags?

I have 3 text areas named suggestion1.

How do I grab this index or array?
$suggestion= $HTTP_POST_VARS['suggestion1'];

$suggestion[] = $_POST['suggestion1'];

Neither of these seem to work. I am really new to PHP and used to ASP and javascript.

Help!

Thank you.
