The input name must include [] (brackets) to let php know it's an array.

Ex: input type=text  name=xname[] value="3303"

Hi ,
 I have a HTML page with a form in which there are some inputs like
these:

        input type=text  name=xname value="3303"
        input type=text  name=xname value="9854"
        ....
        input type=text  name=xname value="n..."


the name of the input is always the same ( xname )

This generates automatically generates an array named xname in HTML
with all the diferent values assigned to a diferent position.


My question is :

How do I retrieve that array from within PHP ?


I've tryed the following

        $xname=$_REQUEST['xname'];

and then
        echo $xname[0][0] ; // this returns nothing
echo $xname[0] ; // this returns only first digit of the first input

None of the above seem to recognize that xname is ( in HTML ) an array .

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks
Mauricio

if i understand well you need to get an array from html post


if you use the same name for your html fields you automatically have
an array in $_POST

eg

input type=text  name=myfield value="field_1"
input type=text name=myfield value="field_2"

you'll get the array  ar_myfield = $_POS['myfield']

you should achieve the same result using myfield[key] in the name of html
