This seems to be the easiest way of doing it for me. To ease processing of
the form I want to use the same code. On the form there is a input named
"realname1". The following code sets the data entered into realname1 as
var1.

$x = 1;
$y = "var".$x;
$$y = $_POST['realname1'];

So far so good, that works.

But to be able to recycle this code I need to change the number 1 in
realname. How do I use the same "$x" in the followingbrackets.

$x = 1;
$y = "var".$x;
$$y = $_POST['realname' ($x)];

I then want to create a do while lopp. Something like..

DO WHILE $x <11
$y = "var".$x;
$$y = $_POST['realname' ($x)];

$x = $x + 1;
:Loop

I am greatful if you someone can explain the syntax for this.
