Hey all,

Yet another non-linux question :)  I'm working on a cgi development for
work.  I have a list of input variables on an html form set up like this:

name1, name2, name3, name4,...

I would like to create a loop to parse each of the names in turn since
there could be any arbitrary number of these variables with
different values for each (the form is dynamic).

My thinking is something like this...

for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++)
{
	$name$i = param('$name$i')
	print $name$i;
}

where $count is the number of names that exist in the list.

Of course this doesn't work since I don't know how to combine
two variables into one variable name.  Is a foreach loop what I really
want to use?

Thanks,
Cliff
