Display so many Form Elements from Variable

[davieboy]

I have a variable that gives me a total number, and i wish to dispaly 3 elements to be filled in for each of the total number (eg 4), and then store in a db linked by a reference.

Any idea how?

for($i=0;$i<$num;$i++)
{
   echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"item_".$i."_a\">\n";
   echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"item_".$i."_b\">\n";
   echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"item_".$i."_c\">\n";
}

Would give you your 3 items per number - print_r($_REQUEST) would give all coming through. Then place into your DB as required...
