[RESOLVED] How can I get $_POST to sequentially number from $counter?

[PHP_Idiot]

I have a FOR Loop that sequentially names form fields based on a user input in the PlayerNo field.

The below code snippets should give you the idea.

for ( $counter = 1; $counter <= $PlayerNo; $counter += 1)

<input name=\"Position$counter\"
<input name=\"Points$counter\"
<input name=\"MembershipNo$counter\"

This works perfectly, but the problem is when I try to get the $POST data for each field
How can I get all the data and have the following also sequentially numbered?

  if ($_POST['MembershipNo1'] == ' '){
  $MembershipNo = '<span style="color:red;">MembershipNo omitted.</span>';
 }else{
  $MembershipNo = $_POST['MembershipNo1'];
 }

I have tried a few things but I just keep getting errors!
Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks a lot

What errors are you getting PHP_Idiot?

Also, maybe it's just to early and I'm not fully understanding your question, but you could just putt $_POST in a for loop, and cycle through them,

or, use the same for loop you use to create the form, and make the POST vars $_POST['MembershipNo'.$counter]

The error is not so much an error as a completely blank page!

I have a couple of forms, in form 1 one of the fields is 'Numbers of Players', say the user adds '3' to this fills the rest in and clicks the ok button.
Form2 then generates a form with '3' lines (one for each player).
Using the $counter I have made sure that every cell has a unique name
Like this:

Position  |  Points  |  Membership Number    |     Name
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Pos1      |  Point1  |    MembershipNo1      |     Name1
Pos2      |  Point2  |    MembershipNo2      |     Name2
Pos3      |  Point3  |    MembershipNo3      |     Name3

But when I come to save this information into my database I dont want to have to manually create a if ($_POST['MembershipNo1] for every entry.

I'd like to be able to create a for loop

($i = 1; $i <= $PlayerNo; $i++)

and use this to number the $POST data like this:

$_POST["MembershipNo$i"]

But I can't get it to work!!

I'm not sure if I'm doing this in completely the wrong way or not, so feel free to guide me in a better way if there is one 😕

Thanks a lot.

that all sounds really good. try using, $_POST['MembershipNo'.$i] instead.

You will probably find it easier to use arrays.
<input name=\"Position[$counter]\"

print_r($_POST) to see what gets posted back.
