need help with this array form please

[mr_one1999]

hi all,

I have an old script which has a dynamically populated form where the
user chooses the items from as many list/menu as the categories
existing in the database and then on a confirm page only the items
selected are shown to be checked by the user before sending them ( to a
third script )

Now I would like to add another list/menu field in the form to let the
user choosing the quantity of each item selected, but I don't know how
to handle it in the confirm page . I use a "foreach" to display the
array of items in the next page
, but how can I show the quantity for each item too ?

I post the code of both pages below ( only the part of interest )

TIA

Johnny

<input name="hiddenField" type="hidden" value="<?php

foreach ($_POST['field'] as $name=>$value) {

[marek_mar]

<select name="quantity[<?=$val;?>]" id="quantity[<?=$val;?>]">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
</select>

Should give you array('$val' => 'value')
