That's they way I thought I was doing it before, and the first thing I tried. The code from that phase, early on, is long gone, but I was trying to loop through all of the "quantity_num" variables ... though I was doing "quantity;num" ... which came out something like "quantity;1"
I just thought of something else to try and so far, it's working. I have my session array/structures. I make each input field it's own form -- with a submit onChange. I then update the quantity for the array item at that array position. That seems to be working. Now I've just got to submit the whole form, but since all items are stored in a session array structure, I'm really not passing any data with the "checkout" button, so this shouldn't be a problem. H.
