Another quick PHP question... this one about arrays

[BeauJangles]

particularly about the $_POST array, although it doesn't really make a difference.

Basically, I have a form with input fields created through a for loop. So they have names like opponent0, opponent1, opponent2, etc.

I tried checking these by creating another for loop which adds their values to a $query variable, but it won't accept the variables as indexes. It tries to read the variable name as the index.

Is there any way around this?

misread, answer coming.

the problem is with how you're nesting your quotes.

single quotes ->' take the literal string enclosed with them.

double quotes -> " will do what you want, and parse the variable name as its value
