this is not the way you can build dynamic variables.

$moonone="1212";
$two="one";
echo ${"moon".$two};

and be careful with the singe qoutes if you embed variables into them, becouse the variables names only can inserted if you're using single qoute.

you've better pass the parameters with arrays in the textfield's name..

sorry i dont mean to act stupid cuz im new to this but didnt understand how that would work
what ive got is a form on the previous page that can be anynumber of pallets for example if they add 5 pallet details it sends palletwidth1 palletwidth2 etc
and im tryin to get a loop on this page so it loops to however many details is on the other page and recieve the variables to be used in a mail to function

[riley20009]

if this was vb6 i would do this (dunno if this will help any1)

//--palletqty could be anynumber from 1 to infinity really
dim palletwidth(1 to palletqty) as string
dim palletlength(1 to palletqty) as string
dim palletheight(1 to palletqty) as string
dim palletweight(1 to palletqty) as string
dim loop as integer

for loop =1 to palletqty step 1
palletwidth(loop)=#posted from last page#
palletlength(loop)=#posted from last page#
palletheight(loop)=#posted from last page#
palletweight(loop)=#posted from last page#
next loop

just an example:

<form method="post" name="form1">
1. Value 1<input name="values1[]" type="text"><br />
2. Value 1<input name="values1[]" type="text"><br />
3. Value 1<input name="values1[]" type="text"><br />
1.Value 2<input name="values2[]" type="text"><br />
2.Value 2<input name="values2[]" type="text"><br />
3.Value 2<input name="values2[]" type="text"><br />
Values<input name="rows" type="text" value="">
<input type="submit" value="go">
</form>

<?php
if ( !empty( $_POST ) ) {
    $message = '';
    $rows = $_POST["rows"];
    for( $i = 0;$i < $rows;$i++ ) {
        $message .= 'Value1: ' . $_POST["values1"][$i] . "\n";
        $message .= 'Value2: ' . $_POST["values2"][$i] . "\n";
        $message .= '<hr>';
    } 
    echo $message;
} 

?>

  $palletmessage .="Pallet $array Length " .$_POST["palletlength"][$array] . "\n";
  $palletmessage .="Pallet $array Height " .$_POST["palletheight"][$array] . "\n";
  $palletmessage .="Pallet $array Weight " .$_POST["palletweight"][$array] . "\n\n";

$array=$sloop is not a good way, $array should start from 0, usually the arrays stars from 0.

$sloop=count($_POST["palletwidth"]);  //take here a required field, for example item name
for ($array=0; $array<=$sloop; $array++)
{
....
