argh! eval() try this instead: $temp = ${"php_q3_$i"}; to get it directly from $HTTP_POST_VARS: $temp = $HTTP_POST_VARS["php_q3_$i"]; simple

Anyways, I took a classical eval thing and am doing fine with it. It looks like this: $temp = "\$php_q3_".$i; // $i is a loop index eval ("\$temp = \"$temp\";"); works alright. Now, how do I eval directly from the $HTTP_POST_VARS? I am trying to do this: $tempVar1 = '\$HTTP_POST_VARS[\"q4_'.$i.'"]'; eval("\$tempVar1=\"$tempVar1\";"); and am obviously failing. If you know any other way to validate 120-150 variables in a loop and then rewrite the values into the fields (checkboxes, radios and selects) - should an error had been made - let me know.
