when i try to do that in my script, i wind up with a software error:

Can't call method "SM_char_" without a package or object reference at /home/site.com/cgibin/ubb/cp_smilie.cgi line 64.

any ideas as to why that is happening or a workaround? $svcnt holds a counter number... 0, 1, 2, 3... etc, that I am incrementing in a while () {}.

if you can think of a better way to get a whole bunch of inputs on a form and analyze them, i'm all ears.

Because you've got it bare-bones, it thinks SM_char_ is a command put it in double quotes like so:


but beware single quotes:

'SM_char_$svcnt' evaluates to SM_char_$svcnt whereas here you want "SM_char_$svcnt" which evaluates to SM_char_5 or whatever.
