Using Variable as a Form Field Name

[pasturepool]

Hello,

 

I have a form that has 3 fields: 2 text fields, 1 checkbox.  I want to use a variable to define both the field NAME and default VALUE.  When it comes to the field NAME, here is what I've done:

<?php

$FIELDNAME = $_REQUEST['FGH']; //this changes based upon a URL variable

$VALUEXYZ = "ABC";

?>

 

<input name="<?php echo $FIELDNAME;?>" type="text" id="score"

                        value="<?php echo $VALUEXYZ;?>" size="4" maxlength="2" />

 

1. When looking at the 'input name', assuming this is correct, i'm having trouble passing this form field name to an UPDATE statement.  I'm not sure how to $_POST['???'] correctly the form field name?

 

If this made any sense to anyone out there, I am at a loss and appreciate your expertise!!!! ???

try using a variables which you can predict the username......

 

 

or by looping it... so that you can retrieve it after submitting the form...
