I am getting a syntax error:

unexpected ']'

Here is my code:

<?php

$output = "";
for ($i=1; $i<16; $i++) {
    $output .= $_POST["DepositCode" . i . ] . "," . $_POST["textfield" . i . ] . "," . $_POST["AccountNum" . i . ] . " \r\n"; 
    }

$file ='textt.txt';
file_put_contents($file, $output);
?>

Should be $_POST["DepositCode" . i] - remove the last dot (.) – hafichuk Nov 28 '11 at 16:41

$output .= $_POST["DepositCode" . i . ] . "," etc...
                                    ^--- extra concat operator

as well as two other places later in the same line. i by itself is invalid as well. it should be $i. The whole line could be replaced with:

$output .= $_POST["DepositCode$i"] . "," . $_POST["textfield$i"] . "," . $_POST["AccountNum$i"] . " \r\n";

instead.

This line is wrong:

$output .= $_POST["DepositCode" . i . ] . "," . $_POST["textfield" . i . ] . "," . $_POST["AccountNum" . i . ] . " \r\n";

The right code is:

$output .= $_POST["DepositCode" . $i] . "," . $_POST["textfield" . $i] . "," . $_POST["AccountNum" . $i] . " \r\n";

$_POST["X" . i . ] >> $_POST["X" . i]

Wrong, it's $i not i. – Dimme Nov 28 '11 at 16:45

Check your 'i'-s in the for-loop. They are all missing the '$'-sign.

Edit: And check the other posts concerning the concatination.

And en extra dot before the ] – Dimme Nov 28 '11 at 16:44
