Thank you for clearing up my rather lame explanation. So how can I process $_POST[dynamic-name][user-entered-value] arrays to give me my desired output:
fname0 = value flab0 = value fplc0 = value fname1 = value flab1 = value fplc1 = value fname2 = value flab2 = value fplc2 = value Any help our example will be most appreciated.

The elements of these arrays are fname[0], fname[1], fname[2]..., flab[0], flab[1]... etc. > And so on as per the num of dynamically generated input lines for the > form. > My question is This describes one way of handling the arrays: > how can I treat each array separately and then > move on to the > next until end ? > > SO the output would be : ... but this illustrates exactly the opposite way of treating them: > fname0 = value flab0 = value fplc0 = value > fname1 = value flab1 = value fplc1 = value > fname2 = value flab2 = value fplc2 = value So which is it you want? Presumably, your example output is correct and the description is wrong, and what you really want to do is address the first element of each array, then the second element of each array, and so on. In which case, you've pretty much described how to do it in your example output, and your only remaining problem is how to find out how long the arrays are -- for which I recommend you take a look at http://www.php.net/count.
