I have something a little complex here, i hope that i can explain it correctly. I have a form with 4 textfields to start with. However, it gets dynamically created larger if the user hits the tab key in the last field, it will create a new row of textfields. See code: <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <TR> <TD>Item 1</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ID="textfields">Description <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="description" VALUE="" Part Number <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="partno" VALUE"" ONKEYDOWN="if (event.keyCode==9) { addNewItem(); }"></TD> </TR> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <TR> <TD>Wiring Harness 1</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ID="whtextfields">Description <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="description" VALUE="" Part Number <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="partno" VALUE="" ONKEYDOWN="if (event.keyCode==9) { addNewWiringHarness(); }"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> Code (markup): Now, at the end of the form there is a cancel and save button. If the save button is pressed, all the data entered in the fields gets inserted into a mysql database. Currently, i only know how to insert 2 fields, not a indefinite number. This is how i'm doing it: <?php //if 'Submit' button was pressed if(isset($_POST['savebutton'])) { $message = NULL; if(ereg("[([0-9a-zA-Z_]|\-|\[|\])", $_POST['description'])) { //valid description $desc = $_POST['description']; } else { //invalid description $desc = FALSE; $message .= '<p>Description not valid.<p>'; } if((ereg("[0-9]{6}", $_POST['partno'])) && (strlen($_POST['partno']) >= 5)) { //valid part number $pno = $_POST['partno']; } else { //invalid part no $pno = FALSE; $message .= '<P>Part No must be in the format: 999999<P>'; } if ($desc && $pno) { require_once('./mysql_connect.php'); $query = "INSERT INTO systemconfig_generic(description, partno) VALUES ('$desc', '$pno')"; $result = @mysql_query($query); if($result) { echo '<FONT SIZE=2>The following was added to the AWACS lab database:<br>'; echo 'Description: ' .$desc .'<br>'; echo 'Part No: ' .$pno; } else { $message = '<P><FONT SIZE=2>The following sql error occured:</P><P>' .mysql_error() .'</P><FONT>'; echo $message; } mysql_close(); } PHP: Any ideas would be great please.
The trick is to bang the rocks together -HHGTTG Actually the trick is that the form field in the HTML example above should be NAME="description[]" -- PHP will turn this into an array which will then be available in $_POST[description] -- change the HTML above and add print_r($_POST) to your code to see what is returned from the form when you submit it.
