yeah, it definitely works with text fields too. You can also do something like:
<input type="text" name="poly[<?=$i;?>]"> where $i will then be the key of the resulting array $poly. it doesn't seem necessary in this case, since the numbers will probably be consecutive, but if you wanted an associative array for some reason this can be useful.
