How can i get this done using php

So i will get right into it.

I have a form that looks like this

<form>

<div class="section1">
<input name="singletitle[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
</div>

<div class="section2">
<input name="singletitle[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
</div>

<div class="section3">
<input name="singletitle[]"/>
<input name="urls[]"/>
</div>
</form>

HTML:

What i would like to do is get the urls for each section, also the number of url fields for each section is always dynamic. So there is no telling how many might be there at given time

I was thinking that i can maybe do this, add another input for each section that will keep account of the number of urls in each section then use that number as a way of dividing the urls, it would look something like this.

$singletitle=$_POST['singletitle'];
foreach($singletitle as $key=>value)
{
$start_for_urls=0;
$number_of_url_fields_each_section=value_from_form;
for($start_for_urls <= $number_of_url_fields_each_section ; $start_for_urls++){
$get_ech_url= value_from_form[$start_for_urls];
}
}

PHP:

Seems like much, is there a better or more simpler way of getting this done

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

 

Why don't you just make the arrays multidimensional?
urls[1][]...urls[1][]
urls[2][]...urls[2][]
And you could also do
singletitle[1][] and they will coher to the select array

 

Oh my goodness...
Never thought of that in a million years.
Simply brilliant.
Saved me a lot of time.

Thank you so very much


but i noticed one thing, that you had singletitle[][] (multidentional)... is it a must that i make singletitle multidimensional as well

 

I'd take it even further, and use 'section' as the named reference...

<fieldset class="section1">
	<input name="section[1][title]"/>
	<input name="section[1][url][]"/>
	<input name="section[1][url][]"/>
	<input name="section[1][url][]"/>
	<input name="section[1][url][]"/>
</fieldset>
 
<fieldset class="section2">
	<input name="section[2][title]"/>
	<input name="section[2][url][]"/>
	<input name="section[2][url][]"/>
</fieldset>
 
<fieldset class="section3">
	<input name="section[3][title]"/>
	<input name="section[3][url][]"/>
</fieldset>

Code (markup):

That way server side to pull them all you need to do is this:

foreach ($_POST['section'] as $section) {
	echo '
		<h2>', $section['title'], '</h2>
		<ul>';
	foreach ($section['url'] as $url) {
		echo '
			<li>', $url,' </li>';
	}
	echo '
		</ul>';
}

Code (markup):

I echoed out the values just to show how that works. You seemed to be getting WAY too complex in your processing there, and I'm not sure to what end other than making "variables for nothing".

 

Hello shadow.
Thanks for the reply, your way is a little different than what am used to but i give it a go see.
Thanks
