" Day: " . $day."$i" . " Month: " . $month."$i" . " Year: " . $year."$i" . " Education: " . $education."$i" .

obsidian Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 you may also just want to check into the extract() function. it will pull all the contents of your $_POST variable into their own variables.
