[thelist] building a dynamic variable in php

[David U.]

Tom:

What your doing doesn't make sense because you already have $_POST but I
don't know your whole scope.

Either way:

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
  $mail[$i] = $_POST[$i];
}
will put it into an array which is easier (despite the fact that it is
already in an array, and this pointless)

or you could do something like:
list ($to, $from, $subject, $body, etc) = $_POST;

I don't recommend either way, but that's not really the point I suppose...
