Defining dynamic javascript variables in PHP

I have a form with a variable number of text boxes, defined by the user selecting a number from a drop-down list.
The boxes are created thus:-

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script type="text/javascript"><!--
  2. function fboxes(NumberOfBoxes){    
  3.     var i,boxes='';    
  4.     for(i=0; i<NumberOfBoxes; i++ ){
  5.     boxes += "<textarea name='textbox["+i+"]' id='textbox["+i+"]'></textarea>";
  6.     }
  7.     document.getElementById('textboxes').innerHTML = boxes;
  8. }
  9. --></script>
This works well and creates the boxes onscreen.

What I can't for the life of me figure out is how to reference them in the PHP mailer file this page links to.

Any suggestions?

Heya, Dracenfels.

The values you are looking for will be in $_GET['textbox'][0], $_GET['textbox'][1], etc., or else in $_POST['textbox'][0], $_POST['textbox'][1], etc., depending on the method attribute of your form.
