I am having a similar problem with the for loop, but I think my logic may be flawed.

I a previous form I have created a table in a while loop from a data base, next to the data retrieved I have included text boxes.

here is a slice of the code (while (@row=$sth->fetchrow) {
$custid = $row[0];
print " <tr>
<td><font size = '5'>$row[1]</font></td>
<td><input type = 'text' size = '4'
name = '$custid&&amount'></td>
<td><select name = '$custid&&size'>
<option> 20
<option> 40
</select></td>
<td><select name = '$custid&&type'>
<option> gp
<option> si
<option> fr
<option> ot
<option> re
<option> hr
<option> tk
</select>
</td>
</tr>";
}

on submission of the form I want to write the info to data base so I named the select and text boxes $custid&&(item_name)
where $custid = a unique customer id in my data base.

My cgi that is simply trying to catch the data is
#c

erlbinperl.exe;

use CGI;

$q = new CGI;
print $q->header;
print "<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>";
$check = $q->param('2&&size');

for ($s=1; $s<10;$s++)

{ $siz = $q->param('$s&&size');
print"<br>$siz";

}

print "<br>$check</body></html>";

this does not work $check however picks up one entry.

any ideas, suggestions will be most welcome

Well, it's not going to interpolate your variable values because of the single quotes:

$siz = $q->param('$s&&size');

So try some double quotes.

Good luck.
