Question

Does this create some kind of perpetual loop or something? I’ve tried posting data, and the page simply won’t load, the page containing the form simply keeps “loading” on form submission.

for($i = 1; $i = 5; $i++) {
    $country[$i] = $_POST['country_'.$i];
    $redirect[$i] = $_POST['redirect_'.$i];
}

var_dump($country);
var_dump($redirect);

Here’s my form;

<form action="query.php" method="post" id="geoui">
<div id="input1" class="clonedInput">
<select name="country_1" class="px460s">
<option selected="selected" value="auto">Choose country to set rule for..</option>
<option>United Kingdom</option>
<option>Canada</option>
</select>
<input name="redirect_1" type="text" class="px460" value="http://">
<div class="break"></div>
</div><div id="input2" class="clonedInput">
<select name="country_2" class="px460s">
<option selected="selected" value="auto">Choose country to set rule for..</option>
<option>United Kingdom</option>
<option>Canada</option>
</select>
<input name="redirect_2" type="text" class="px460" value="http://">
<div class="break"></div>
</div><div id="input3" class="clonedInput">
<select name="country_3" class="px460s">
<option selected="selected" value="auto">Choose country to set rule for..</option>
<option>United Kingdom</option>
<option>Canada</option>
</select>
<input name="redirect_3" type="text" class="px460" value="http://">
<div class="break"></div>
</div><div id="input4" class="clonedInput">
<select name="country_4" class="px460s">
<option selected="selected" value="auto">Choose country to set rule for..</option>
<option>United Kingdom</option>
<option>Canada</option>
</select>
<input name="redirect_4" type="text" class="px460" value="http://">
<div class="break"></div>
</div><div id="input5" class="clonedInput">
<select name="country_5" class="px460s">
<option selected="selected" value="auto">Choose country to set rule for..</option>
<option>United Kingdom</option>
<option>Canada</option>
</select>
<input name="redirect_5" type="text" class="px460" value="http://">
<div class="break"></div>
</div>
</form>

Any advice or answers would be greatly appreciated ;)!

Answer 1

for($i = 1; $i = 5; $i++) {

You missed the <:

for($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {

BTW you could use the array syntax for form element names, so that instead of using $_POST['country_'.$i] to access posted data, you would do $_POST['country'][$i] or $_POST[$i]['country']:

<select name="query[1][country]" class="px460s">
<input name="query[1][redirect]" type="text" class="px460" value="http://">

Then in your PHP script:

foreach($_POST['query'] as $item) {
    $country = $item['country'];
    $redirect = $item['redirect'];
}
