wkst5

Hi to everyone!
I need some help!
I am working with php and i have a form!
In this form i have a field which name is "thisNumOfChildrenField"
i want when the user input a number in this field e.g 3 then
appear 3 text fields to input the Childrens name. If he enter 6, appear 6 text field e.t.c
i made this
<? if ($thisNumOfChildren==3)?>
<input text name=ThisText1....>
<input text name=ThisText2....>
<input text name=ThisText3....>
but it doesn;t work

Thanks!!!

If im reading correctly, You cant do this in php.
php is a serverside scripting language u want to use java script to do somthing like that.
oh and BTW. only post your question once.

Try this but remember as _theworks said you can only do it after a refresh of the page

<?php
    $num = $thisNumOfChildren; // The number  $thisNumOfChildren


for ($i=1; $i<=$num; $i++)  {

  $output = "Child No:".$i." <input type='text' name='ThisText" .$i."'>\n<br>";

 echo $output;
 }
 ?>

gammaster

$numberOfFields = intval($_POST['thisNumOfChildrenField']);

for($i = 0; $i < $numberOfFields; $i++)
   echo '<input type="text" name="fields[]" value="">';
