This is correct - you have 7 different names:

t1,skill,city,region,country,lat,long

What were you expecting/Did you think to get count of skills? I'm just assuming since you called your variable $sk.

$sk= $_POST['skills'];

BTW, your DTD is missing.

yes but i need to count all

Member Avatar for diafol

What the total number of fields in the form?

You need a recursive count, but they can be fiddly, or you can do a simple loop if the arrays are one 1 deep.

$count = 0;
foreach($_POST as $item)
{
    $count += (is_array($item)) ? count($item) : 1;
}
echo "Items = $count";

is the item is not an array what does it do then?

See line 4 - it adds 1 if not an array as it's a scalar.
