Try using array variable names in HTML: $rs is a statement from a select sql. This code snippet puts the values of the columns returned in an array $field. if (OCIFetch($rs)) { for ($i = 0; $i <= $NFields; $i++) { $field[$i] = OCIResult($rs, $i+1); } } Somewhere further on the following code gets executed: echo "<table>"; for ($i = 0; $i <= $NFields; $i++) { echo "<tr><td>"; echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='f[".$i."]' SIZE='".$FieldLen[$i]."' MAXLENGTH='".$FieldLen[$i]."' value='".$field[$i]."'>"; echo "</tr></td>"; } You could use a <INPUT TYPE="hidden"> in the above code as well, just to pass the values. When the form is posted the values in f gets sent back as an array. This code comes comes from a script I wrote that updates a database like you want to do.

It's my understanding that you can't pass arrays between scripts, except when using sessions. They seem to transfer in, for example: include("script.php"); require("script.php"); but not in: <a href='script.php?var=$var'>Pass</a> but I would love to be corrected on this by a PHP expert!
