FORm

I am creating an array in file file1.php.
<?php

echo("<br>");
echo("<form action=\"formcollect.php\" method=\"POST\" >");
echo("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;");
for($k=0;$k<=15;$k++)
{echo("<b><i>Comp</i></b>");
echo("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;");
}
echo("<br>");
for($i=0;$i<=15;$i++)
{ echo("<B><i>Comapny</i></b>");
for($j=0;$j<=$i;$j++)
{ echo("&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ");
echo("<input type=\"text\" name=\"rating[][]\" size=\"1\"> ");
}
echo("<br>");
}

echo("<br>");
echo("<input type=\"submit\" value=\"SUBMIT\">");


echo("</form>");

?>
how can i access the elements of array in called script.

Although I don't think its proper to use [] in your input box names, I do believe it still works. Is there a reason you're doing multidimensional array?

Anyways, try adding this to your formcollect.php: print_r($_POST)

It will print out the POST array which should give you a better understanding of what's happening... you could also try $_POST['rating'][0].... although I'm not positive of how the array is translated by PHP
