[CLUG] TECH/PHP question

[Fixer]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...I cleared up my confusion.

I was confusing the array() function with it's use or my assumed need of 
it's use in
the name="xxx" portion.  I am clear now:

<input type="text" name="myrow[<? =$t; ?>][caption]" value="<? =$ccaption; ?>">

$myrow[1]["caption"] = "this is a caption"
