[RESOLVED] Displaying an array from a form

[Coruba67]

Hi all!! Am trying to post a form, with a whole bunch of information on it - that I have put into an array

This is pretty similar to the form I am using

<form action="dev.php" method="post"> 
<input type="hidden" name="userID[]" value="$dbuserid"> 
<input type="text" name="firstname[]" value="john"> 
<input type="submit" value="update[]" name="submit"> 
</form> 

The number of rows in that form will vary based on how many records are in the table.

Am trying this to return the result...

    $user = $_POST['userID']; 

foreach($user as $key => $userValue){ 

    $firstname = $_POST[$key.'firstname']; 
    echo "The User ID returned is $userValue, for $firstname.<br>"; 
} 

The only thing it is putting on the screen is the $userID value and a . on each line (no $firstname), where what I am actually wanting it to do is print the relevant firstname for the userID's that have come through in the array.... what am I doing wrong here?

Ultimately I am hoping to write some queries to put this information into the database, but would like to check the information on the screen first...

Thanks in advance!

As long your $POST array elements are in order .(I did not understand the following:

<input type="hidden" name="userID[]" value="$dbuserid">

You should be able to try this construction:

    $user = $_POST['userID'];
    $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
    foreach($user as $key => $userValue){
        echo "The User ID returned is $userValue, for $firstname[$key].<br>";
    }
