[SOLVED] Uniquely naming table cells based on $counter value

[PHP_Idiot]

I have a table that generates rows based on user input and it displays the number of players, and the points earned for each position. then is a text field for membership numbers. Following that I want to look up FirstName & LastName as a sanity check.

 

Before I do that I understand that I need to uniquely name each row under First & Last Name, probably based on the $counter value.

 

Here is my tables current code

 

for ( $counter = 1; $counter <= $PlayerNo; $counter += 1) 
{
echo "<tr><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo $counter;
echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo $points = isset($pointsArray[$counter]) ? $pointsArray[$counter] : 25; ;
echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo '<input name="MembershipNo" type="text" size="7" maxlength="7">';
echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo '<input name="FirstName $counter" type="text" size="15" maxlength="7">';
echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo '<input name="LastName[$counter]" type="text" size="15" maxlength="7">';
echo "</td></tr>";

 

I have tried both of the following but without success:

echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo '<input name="FirstName $counter" type="text" size="15" maxlength="7">';
echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";
echo '<input name="LastName[$counter]" type="text" size="15" maxlength="7">';
echo "</td></tr>";

Just to be clear I don't want to change the display at this moment in time, just change the name as viewed in 'view source' eg name="FirstName" (and LastName) changed to name="FirstName1", name="FirstName2" etc for the full value of the $counter.

 

Many Thanks

echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";

  echo "<input name='FirstName".$counter."' type='text' size='15' maxlength='7'>";

  echo "</td><td align='center' valign='center'>";

  echo "<input name='LastName".$counter."' type='text' size='15' maxlength='7'>";

  echo "</td></tr>";

 

Should do it.

Thats perfect thanks a lot 

 

I Don't suppose you can help with the next step can you?

I need to get the FirstName and LastName cells to up date with the names that correspond to the membership number typed on the same row, Ideally I want this update to occur as soon as the membership number is typed in rather than having to fill them all and click a button to perform the query.

 

The test form can be seen at www.gbpokerclub.co.uk/testform.php, fill this in and hit the create form button and you will see the table I'm talking about.

 

Many Thanks
