dynamic form with varying fields

[Lemonboi]

I've tried using foreach loops and for loops, but can't seem to extract the entered values

The previous page asks how many rows are needed

for( $i = 1; $i <= $_POST['rows_jobs']; $i++){
echo '
	<td><input name="' . $i . '[isalnt]" type="text" id="' . $i . '[isalnt]" size="12"></td>
    <td><input name="' . $i . '[isalamt]" type="text" id="' . $i . '[isalamt]" size="12"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
	';
}

?>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Extras</td>
<td>ie gifts </td>
<td><input name="igifts" type="text" id="igifts" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>tips</td>
<td><input name="itips" type="text" id="itips" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tax</a></td>
<td></td>
<td><input name="itax" type="text" id="itax" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Real Estate</a>
<?php
for($i = 1; $i <= $_POST['rows_places']; $i++)
{
echo'
<td><input name="' . $i . '[irent]" type="text"></td>
<td><input name="' . $i . '[ireamt]" type="text" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
';
}

?>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stocks</a></td>
<?php
for($i = 1; $i <= $_POST['rows_stocks']; $i++)
{
echo'
<td><input name="' . $i . '[istnt]" type="text"></td>
<td><input name="' . $i . '[istamt]" type="text" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
';
}

?>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Other</a></td>
<?php
for($i = 1; $i <= $_POST['rows_other']; $i++)
{
echo'
<td><input name="' . $i . '[iotnt]" type="text"></td>
<td><input name="' . $i . '[iotamt]" type="text" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
';
}

These values will be submitted to a database to various tables, ie Income, Stocks, Real Estate.

PHP treats input elements names that end with[] as arrays. So using:

<input name="isalnts[]" ... />

Gives you a nice posted arrays with which you can:

foreach($_POST['isalnts'] as $isalnt)
{ ... }

No need to use $i to try and given the elements unique names.
