i.e http://www.msn.net/mrigesh.php?child_name1=Mrigesh the great&

actual code
$i=1;
$child_name.$i =$_GET['child_name'.$i]

echo $child_name.$i;

will print:Mrigesh the great;


If this doesn't help, somethin's wrong with your head not the code.
And by the way the above two posts doesn't work, don't even try those.

mrigesh: there was no need to report Pheifel's post, just because it doesn't work. When you report a post, it says:

Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

His post is none of these.

Anyway, your code doesn't work straight away - it is missing a semi-colon from the end of the second line.



That was nice and modest of you.

I wa reportet... Giggles. Thats funny. Taken into comparison, that i have helped more. And are more actice than you (mrigesh) On the other hand. That post is in the sence precisly why the repport-function is there.

actually, i am not entirely sure that you can do this: $child_name.$i. i haven't tried it myself, but it might work. if it doesn't, i would recommend using arrays.

This would do pretty much the same:

PHP Code:

for ($i=0; $i<$children; $i++) 
{
$child_name[$i] = htmlentities($_POST['child_name$i']);
$child_age[$i] = htmlentities($_POST['child_age$i']);
$child_mom[$i] = htmlentities($_POST['child_mom$i']);
$child_require[$i] = htmlentities($_POST['child_require$i']);
} 


This works - try it yourself and see:
<?
$text1 = 'Some';
$text2 = ' Text';
$text3 = $text1 . $text2;
echo $text3;
?>

This will print "Some Text" -- but notice the space at the front of $text2.
You could just have easily put a $spacetext in there for a space. <shrugs>
You could also use it to, say, add a tab space in front of your text, and
even use with your "post" tag, such as:

<?
$text1 = '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;';
$text2 = ($_POST['textboxdata']);
$text3 = $text1 . $text2;
echo $text3;
?>

This would produce something like: (five spaces here)This is the contents of the textbox!
