Form Loop Error

Question

I have a form which loops if the value indicated is less than or equal the number of 'enrollee's needed. The while loop works perfectly with one exception, I use DOB fields which ALSO use FOR loops to display their values. If I remove the DOB fields, the form loop works fine, when left in, it errors out. Any ideas?

<form id="Enroll_Form"  action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="Enroll_Form" >

<?php 
$i=1;
while ($i <= ($_SESSION['Num_Members'])): {?>

    <table class="demoTable">

Answer 1

You are using $i in your while loop, and in all of your for loops. You need to change it to something else.

That is probably causing you some problems (not to mention it being terribly hard to understand)
