Hello,
If you could assist me with the following situation, I would be very
grateful.

I have a table of data retrieved from database displayed on screen.
To each row of data, I have added action buttons, such as "Edit",
"Add", and "Comment". Since I do not know how many rows of data will
be retrieved - and therefore how many buttons I need - I am using
button arrays for each button, like so:
echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Comment\" name=\"Comment[]\" />";

In the php file that processes the input from this form, I have the
following code, which I was under the impression would give me the
index in the Comment array of the button that was fired.
if (isset($_POST['CommentMedicalHistory']))
{
$indexOfComment = each($_POST['CommentMedicalHistory']);
echo "index = {$indexOfComment['key']}";
}
Unfortunately, it is returning 0 as the index all the time, even when
I do not click on the Comment button in the first row.
Do you know by any chance how I could get the correct index of the
button that was pressed from the array?

Thank you, once again, for any assistance that you can provide,
Simon Gottesman
