**solved** n00b problem: looping?

[Cely]

Hi [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /] I'm trying to create a script to tally up voting-by-checkbox for several different icons, but I'm not sure how to set it up so that one loop adds each *seperately*. Or would I have to write a snippet for each? There are 50 icons per batch, so I really hope it's the former.

[code]       |1pt |2pts|3pts|4pts|5pts|
icon 1 | x  |    |  x |  x |    |
icon 2 |    |  x |    |    |  x |
icon 3 | x  |    |  x |    |    |
icon 4 |    |  x |    |    |  x |
icon 5 |    |    |    |    |    |[/code]


icon 1 = 8pts
icon 2 = 7pts

etc...

Hope I've explained everything alright [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /]

try

[code]<?php
     if (isset($_GET['pts'])) {
         foreach($_GET['pts'] as $icon => $scores) {
             $score = array_sum($scores);
             echo "Icon $icon = $score pts<br/>";
         }  
     }
?>
