Stephen,

I'm using a template and so:
<input name="item{number}" size=60 class="formdata" value="{item}">
becomes:
<input name="item1" size=60 class="formdata" value="{item}">

.....and so on.

But when I need to get the post data, I cannot access in the way I'm used to
like:

$var1 = $_POST['item1'];
$var2 = $_POST['item2'];

If its in an array, how do I loop thru a POST array?
