No, I don't get what you mean. If you mean to set the value inside the
<input> field to blank (""), then why did you put anything inside the
value? See your original post:

foreach($articleTable as $article) {
?>
<input type="text" name="article[amount]" size="2" maxlength="2"
value="<? $article[amount] ?>"></td>
}

What are you trying to do here? I only say the value is getting set to ""
because the PHP statment <? $article[amount] ?> is not doing anything!!

I still really don't get what you are trying to do. My code example does
not result in two different arrays! My example does not result in any
arrays -- it just prints out stuff. Unless you mean the naming of the
<input> tag which will result in an array being created within whatever
PHP script receives the data.

Ultimately I think you have to rethink your problem a little, and learn
how to create and use multi-dimensional arrays. Hint: Use two for() or
foreach() loops -- one inside the other!

I am trying to be helpful, really, and not trying to be a prick. But I
simply do not see what you are trying to do.

later...
