[RESOLVED] A loop with a numbered VAR

[stuartbrown20]

Hey all,

i have this loop...
The problem is this part $_POST['suburb$i'];
I don't know the correct syntax to make it access suburb1 suburb2 etc so if someone could urgently help me out it would be a huge help!!!

<?php
for($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++) {
?>
	<input type="hidden" name="suburb<?php echo $i; ?>" value="<?php echo $_POST['suburb$i']; ?>" />
<?php
}
?>

Thankyou in advance! 🙂

...name="<?php echo ${'suburb' . $i} ?>"...

Glad to help, except I gave you the wrong answer. 🙂 The "name=" part should stay as you have it. The part you want to change is here:

echo $_POST['suburb' . $i];

By the way, using numbered variables is a common newbie hack. You'd be much better off in the long (and short) run by learning to use arrays instead.
