easier processing of form elements

[rougue]

Greetings!
Im working on a project and this is the situation:

I have lets say 10 textareas that are called data1 -> data10

is there an faster/easier way to get all of the data into an array that i can access using the array index other than manually doing say:

$array = array($data1,$data2.....);
?

thanks for looking and helping 🙂

Yes.

<input type="text" name="data[]" class="" value="" />

Once the form is submitted, $_POST['data'] will be an array.

$array = array();
for($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++){
$text = $_POST['data'.$i];
$array[$i] = $text;
}

khjart ,

That's only gonna get you a 10 element numerative array, not one filled with values. You'd haveta eval data $i in order to do what you were suggesting. Slak's advice is dead on and much much easier.

Doh, my bad, speaking outta turn. You;re correct, but I still think Slak's advice is good. Apologies.
