How about indexing those names? This works pretty well:
<?php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
?>
<form method="post">
<input name="data[0]" value="1" />
<input name="data[1]" value="2" />
<input name="data[2]" value="3" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
It prints this on submit:
Array
(
[data] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
)
)
