Alright, alright, everyone, I could get away with this in Cold Fusion, but not in PHP.
The simple example I gave is part of a more complex problem, however. Here's the deal: Let's say I have a form that requests the season schedule of a baseball team, and the team in question has twenty scheduled games all on different days. Each form row will have three select elements for the date; i.e. date(x) for the year, date(x+1) for the month, and date(x+2) for the day, or however I'll need to make each date select element unique. Then, in the insert page, I'll need to loop through each date element by groups of three and create an array for each date set. Similar to what I had to do in CF, but I could get away with naming each row of select elements as date(x) for year, date(x) for month, date(x) for day, etc. My ideas might be a little primitive here, so feel free to chime in if you've got a tighter solution........
