如何在新行中回复帖子+ $ list？

Question

I'm trying to create a PHP script that will "echo" name + name2 + surname from post e.g

John "Edward" "Smith"
Thomas "Edward" "Smith"
Chris "Edward" "Smith"
etc.

This is my script:

<form action="test.php" method="post">
Test: <input type="text" name="name2"> + <input type="text" name="surname"> 
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

list of names:

<?php
$name= "
John
Thomas
Chris
(...)
    ";
?>

+

<?php echo $name; ?> "<?php echo $_POST["name2"]; ?>" "<?php echo $_POST["surname"]; ?>"

When I press Submit I got this

John Thomas Chris + "Edward" "Smith"

instead of

John "Edward" "Smith"
Thomas "Edward" "Smith"
Chris "Edward" "Smith"

Any ideas?

You need to make $name an array. Try this:

$names = array(
    "John",
    "Thomas",
    "Chris"
);

foreach($names as $name)
{
    // Added variables for readability
    $name2 = $_POST['name2'];
    $surname = $_POST['surname'];
    echo "$name '$name2' '$surname'";
}

/* OUTPUT:
John 'Edward' 'Smith'
Thomas 'Edward' 'Smith'
Chris 'Edward' 'Smith'
*/

Hope this helps.
