Handling $_FILES['name1'] with increment name

my question:

<input type="text" name="sample1">
<input type="text" name="sample2">

this input add with javascript with limit 10 max = sample10.

how to handle this with php? like $_POST['sample$i'].

for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
}

and if it can be done, $some$i = $_POST['sample$i'].

can i insert to db with '$some1', '$some2'?

Either use $_POST['sample'.$i] or use sample[] as name attribute & iterate over that.

it's a lot easier to do it this way. In your form. set this up as:

<input type="text" name="sample[]" />

and then in your php use an array like so:

foreach $_POST['sample'] as $sample {
  echo $sample.'<br/>';

}

This way you don't have to be limited to a finite number of rows.

Use $_POST["sample$i"]. See What is the difference between single-quoted and double-quoted strings in PHP?

Yeah, you can use ${"some$i"} = $_POST["sample$i"]; but PLEASE, don't. Use an array to do the job.
