Hello everyone,
On-rev question about collecting web form information. Suppose I have a questionnaire that uses 40 sequentially named menus for the answer choices. I could collect them individually like this.
put $_POST["Q1"] into q1
put $_POST["Q2"] into q2
put $_POST["Q3"] into q3
put $_POST["Q4"] into q4
put $_POST["Q5"] into q5
...
put $_POST["Q40"] into q40
But of course my first inclination is to avoid 40 lines and use a loop. So I tried
repeat with i=1 to 40
put $_POST[(quote & Q & i & quote)] & comma after theSubmission
end repeat
and a number of variations, such as,
(quote & Q & the value of i & quote)
but all I ever get returned is an empty list, i.e., {,,,,,,,,,,,,}. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Gregory
