array of textfields

22 New Member
I'm using an array to submit textfields. Something like:

<input name="tf[]">...
<input name="tf[]">...
<input name="tf[]">...

so that I can iterate through the answers easily. I just want to be cautious and ask if there are there any pitfalls to doing that? It seems to work fine. Though I never knew before that you could do so, outside of a series of checkboxes. Thanks.

The same name can be used for multiple elements. It's the ID which has to be unique. I assume you're using PHP for the server scripting language. I can't see any reason why you can't use it like you are.
