Counter syntax problem

[Garry Jones]

I am having a problem with php syntax.

I am sending these values to a form called preview.php but I can not get the
syntax working properly.

$fornamn1
$eftnamn1
$fornamn2
$eftnamn2

On preview.php I want to use a counter in the names like this.

<php
$po = 1;
?>

<?= $fornamn.$po ?>&nbsp;<?= $eftnamn.$po ?>

<?php
$po = $po + 1;
?>

<?= $fornamn.$po ?>&nbsp<?= $eftnamn.$po ?>

I know the values are being sent to preview.php correctly because if I
substitute $po for real numbers everything is displayed correctly.

Ie

<?= $fornamn1 ?>&nbsp;<?= $eftnamn1 ?>
<?= $fornamn2 ?>&nbsp;<?= $eftnamn2 ?>

works.

But I want to simplify the code. So how do I get

<?= $fornamn.$po ?>

to actually call fornamn1

Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Counter syntax problem

First of all, relying on register_global s=on is just soo bad; Please
use $_GET['varnam'] resp. $_POST['varnam'] for accessing script
parameters instead.

Concerning your problem: You can pass arrays via the GET method by
using array[index] as varname. Use array[] for auto increment of the
index. To print a value, use
<?php=$_GET['array']['index']?>

PS: Use $op++ instead of $po = $po + 1 :)

Garry,

First of all, $formname isn't defined. It should be 'formname'. Second, use
the increment (++) operator, i.e. (not checked for syntax)

<?$po = 0; ?>

<?= "formnamn[$po]"; ?>&nbsp;<?="eft nam$po++";?>
