Hi Tristan
It seems wierd to me that $math would be an array even after that you have
named all your form fields to $math.
Well, what you can do otherwise that is a very known method is naming your
fields name[].
In your case this would be math[].
If you name many of your fields this way, $_GET['math'] will be an array
with auto-filled indexes.
Example:
---submit.html---
<form action="receiver.php" method="post">
Number 1: <input type="text" name="math[]"><br>
Number 2: <input type="text" name="math[]"><br>
Number 3: <input type="text" name="math[]"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
-------
Now let's say you enter 1 in field 1, 2 in field 2 and 3 in field 3.
Now let's send the data to receiver.php
-------
---receiver.php---
<?php
$math = $_GET['math'];
foreach($key => $value as $math){
echo "$key => $value<br>";
?>
------
This would output:
1 => 1
2 => 2
3 => 3
-------
This method can also be very useful with selects, naming the select "name[]"
Then you when you submit, name[] will become an array where the selected
indexes are given in the array.
Hope you found this helpful
