Subject: [nycphp-talk] print parsing confusion

Hello all:

I am having a problem trying to get a text field get
its name in a while loop like this expense_cat1,
expense_cat2 ... etc. here's a snip of the code:

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $category ) )
{
  echo( "<tr><td>" . $row['expenses_cat_desc'] . 
       "</td><td><input type=text name=expense_cat" .
$row['expenses_cat_number'] . ("</td></tr>");

}

I pass this to another page and try to print it using
$_POST['expense_cat1'] and is giving me an empty
string. 

Now, I check phpinfo() and the variable name gets
created as:

$_POST['expense_cat1</td>']

I don't know how I can get around this. What other
function can I use to get this working correctly. 


Thank you in advanced for your help.
