OK, I'm probably not the first person to attempt to put together a PHP web-based interface to rsync to ease deployment, but there goes. We have a 'QA' server locally and a 'Staging' server at Rackspace. I've set up SSH key pairings so I can rsync between the two servers and it all works great.

I need to scan all the text boxes on a page (there will be around 100, all with dynamic names in the form [ROW]) and then remove matching values from a drop down.
