Yes, that's me. Have you been to one of our meetings lately? We redid our 
website recently: http://www.nolug.org

Thanks for saying "hi" :-)

That looks interesting (using the "&", etc.) I'll have to look into that.

What the problem ended up being was bad syntax. I was using 

$materials["quantity"][1] = $_POST[$materials]["quantity"][1];

instead of

$materials["quantity"][1] = $_POST["materials"]["quantity"][1];

...using a variable instead of a string to reference the array.

Excellent idea. In truth, I just picked up this project again after 1.5 years, 
so I expect to find other newbie mistakes in it.

FYI, the project (WebInvoicer) is listed on my "projects" page, and I expect 
to release a new version of it (I'm refactoring it completely, and it will 
have the MySQL backend, etc.) in a few weeks. I'll probably post it on 
freshmeat, as well.

Thanks to all who offered their suggestions :-)
