HTML Forms & PHP Arrays

[DeadFly]

I have a form with multiple similar fields, which are created everytime the page is visited. The number or rows could vary depending on the rows in the mysql table.

Right now I have:

<?
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)){
    echo'<tr>
    <td><input type="hidden" name="xID['.$row[0].']" value="'.$row[0].'"/>'.$row[0].'</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="xName['.$row[0].']" size="25" maxlength="25" value="'.$row[1].'" id="input"/></div></td>
    <td><input type="text" name="xValue['.$row[0].']" size="25" maxlength="25" value="'.$row[2].'" id="input"/></div></td>
    <td>
    <select name="xType['.$row[0].']" size="1" id="inputb">
    <option value="1">Input Type . . .</option>
    <option value="1">Plain Text (default)</option>
    <option value="2">Date</option>
    </select>
    </td>
</tr>';			
}
?>

Which outputs :

<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="xID[1]" value="1"/>1</td>
<td><input type="text" name="xName[1]" size="25" maxlength="25" value="nhl_season_deadline" id="input"/></div></td>
<td><input type="text" name="xValue[1]" size="25" maxlength="25" value="" id="input"/></div></td>
<td>
<select name="xType[1]" size="1" id="inputb">
<option value="1">Input Type . . .</option>
<option value="1">Plain Text (default)</option>
<option value="2">Date</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

A: Will this work correctly ?
B: Are there any potential problems ?
C: Will the output (name="xID[1]") be recognized as an array when I submit the form ?

A: Try it and see...?
B: Assuming you write the processing script properly, no.
C: as $_POST['xID'][1], sure.

How would I go about setting an array that will stay after submiting, so I can run it through a loop ?
If I submit with name="xID[1]" then the submitted value would be $POST['xID[1]'] correct ?
What would be the best way to get $POST['xID'][1] ?

Thanks

this IS exactly what You get. The best way to debug the variable results is to include "phpinfo();" at the beginning of Your script. This will show all results You need.

No, you said it yourself. The submitted value would be $POST['xID'][1].
