I dont know it this is possible, but here it goes. Hopefully I cac explain
it well enough for someone to understand.

I am posting data to a php script. I have several variables that are the
same except the number at the end is different. So the url of the called
script will be something like:

http://www.something.com/test.php?name1=Sam&name2=Bill&name3=Joe

On my script I am using substr() and strrchr() to get the number of last
variable:

$names = substr(strrchr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],"&"),7,1);

I am then trying to run a loop to call each variable and just print it on
the screen:

for($i=1;$i<=$boxes;$i++){
echo $_GET['name'].$i;
}

This is where my problem is. And I dont know if this is even possible, but
if you look at the echo line in the loop I am trying to add the number of $i
to the register global. I dont get an error in doing this, but when I run
the script I get the number of $i instead of the value of $_GET['name1']

Like I said, I hope I explained this good enough for someone to know what I
am trying to do. If anyone has any suggestions or comments about doing
something like this please let me know.

Thanks,

Aaron
