Form fields

[andyd34]

I am trying to recieve information from another page but the form fields are numberered automaically. here is the sending page code

$i=1;

foreach($something as $this) {
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$output =  '<input type="text" name="name_$i">';
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$output = blah,blah...
$i++;
}

as you can see I know what name_1 field is but how do i get name_(last).

Does anyone have any information on this or can you give me a pointer for php.net

$i = $start;
$found = false;
while ($found == false):
$current = $prefix . $i;
global $$current;
if (is_null($$current)):
$found = true;
$result = $i-1;
endif;
$i++;
endwhile;
return $result;
