Can the name of a textbox be numbers?

[JakeSilver]

Hi there,

 

I am having trouble with some text boxes and have given then numerical names?

 

Can textboxes have there names as just numbers?

 

Many Thanks

Yes you can. Worked for me.

Be very wary of dynamic forms.

This is a dynamic form  and i am not having any luck at all. Im trying to assign a text box to a record in the database. i shall show some code :

 

<?$sectionquery=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `section` ORDER BY 'id' ASC");

while($data=mysql_fetch_object($sectionquery)){

echo "<p>$data->name<input type='text' value='' name='$data->textcode' size='4'></p> ";

}

 

$data->textcode is a ten digit number

 

if ($_POST['Submit']){

$numsec=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `section` ORDER BY 'id' ASC")or die (mysql_error()); 

while($secdata=mysql_fetch_object($numsec)){
$boxcode=$secdata->textcode;
echo $boxcode;
$navvalue= $_POST['$boxcode'];
echo" this is nav value $navvalue";

 

When i echo $boxcode it appears as the same number as $data->textcode which is correct

 

However it does not get the value of the textbox

Try this:

 

$navvalue= $_POST[$boxcode];

I try to stay as far away from dynamic forms as possible. They are a complete pain in the you know what.
