serialized variables in $_Request

[bizshop]

I am now working on a system with globals off and stumbling ahead.

I have a form that allows up to 20 names, emails, etc to be added for a class roster system.

Each name is identified as studentName[$i], studentEmail[$i] etc

Values submitted via GET method:

$studentName[0] = Steve Veltkamp
$studentName[1] = Letty Veltkamp
$studentEmail[0] = [e-mail]
$studentEmail[1] = [e-mail]
(I'm not showing the empty 18 of each)

But the following doesn't work:

while($i<=20){
echo "$_REQUEST['studentName[$i]']";
}

I get:
parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

Those variables that are not serialized work fine, but I think the syntax for the [$i] must be wrong...

Change it to

$student = studentName[$i];
echo $_REQUEST[$student];

It comes through as an actual array, so access it like this

$name = $_REQUEST['studentName'][$i];
