Hi all,

Easy question (I hope).  My brain seems not be working today, so could
someone help me with this one?

I have a while loop outputting part of an html form which inputs track
information for CDs:

 $countything = 1;
  while ($countything !=31) {
  echo "
  <tr>
    <td>$countything.</td>
    <td><input name='fcomposer$countything' type='text'
id='fcomposer$countything' size='20' maxlength='60'/></td>
    <td><input name='fsubheading$countything' type='text'
id='fsubheading$countything' size='20' maxlength='80' /></td>
    <td><input name='fmovementno$countything' type='text'
id='fmovementno$countything' size='3' maxlength='3' /></td>
    <td><input name='ftracktitle$countything' type='text'
id='ftracktitle$countything' size='20' maxlength='60' /></td>
    <td><input name='ftracksubtitle$countything' type='text'
id='ftracksubtitle$countything' size='20' maxlength='80' /></td>
    <td><input name='ftracklength$countything' type='text'
id='ftracklength$countything' size='5' maxlength='8' /></td>
    <td><input name='fextrainfo$countything' type='text'
id='fextrainfo$countything' size='20' maxlength='80' /></td>
  </tr>\n";
$countything++;
}


How can I get the value to change in each form?  The name and id for each
input field will change from (for example) fcomposer1 to fcomposer30 but how
do I change the value for each input to show the variables taken from the
database which will be $composer1 to $composer30 ? Obviously if I put in
$composer$countything that will just output the value of $composer followed
by the value for $countything, but I want it to output the value for
$composer1 if $countything=1 or $composer10 if $countything=10 .  Is there
something I can do with variable variables?  I couldn't see any examples in
the PHP manual.

Many thanks,

Ian Gray
