problems with dynamic names

[davehaz]

howdy,
I am writing a script that needs dynamic names for a form text input box

$fieldname = 'fieldname';
for($i=0;$i < $num_cat; $i++){
$fieldname .=$i;
echo "<tr><td><input type='text' name='$fieldname' ></td</tr>";
}

this is working mostly. but the output comes out like.


fieldname0
fieldname01
fieldname012
fieldname0123
fieldname01234

instead of

fieldname0
fieldname1
fieldname2
fieldname3
fieldname4


anybody got any ideas what I am doing wrong and how to correct it?
thanks.

for($i=0;$i < $num_cat; $i++){
$fieldname = 'fieldname' . $i;
echo "<tr><td><input type='text' name='$fieldname' ></td</tr>";
}
