Michael,
Been there recently!
You want to use variable variables:
$index=0;
for (index=0; $index < $rowcount; $index++){
$formvar='formvar'.$index;
$formvar=$$formvar;
Do the last two lines for each piece of data you want to handle.
Think about how you are isolating the formvars on the submitted page to
make sure that you are sure you are reading the right stuff.
Hope this helps.
