Pass the name of the input as a hidden value with the form.

<form method="POST" action="send.php">Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" -->
<p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></p>
<input type="hidden" name="name1" value="T1">
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

and then check for the $_post('name1') in the receiving code.
A friend from another forum has a form which uses this method. I will post a link here asap.
Also, for recursion, add another hidden field to tell you how many values the form is passing.

*edit to add link*

This is a tutorial about how to use this technique on a mail form, but modify it for your purposes.
It should work our fine.

Well thats quite easy if the name is not imprtant or if the name is common and it has many subfields that you just have to process.My method includes an array and a foreach loopYou could name the input fields as say 'name[]'.Notice the square brackets([]).Name all of your fields with this name.In PHP it would be posted as a array.So you could use its values as $_POST['name'][n]('n' stands for the array key).To process the fields use the foreach loop.This method is used for multiple input fields whose numbers are not fixed and keep on varying e.g. for a multiple file upload it is used.However yo wouldnt know the actual use of a particular field as thats not you objective.
