KevinM1 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 A few things: 1. In your HTML, the names of your inputs are b[], b1[], etc. Yet, in your PHP, you refer to them all as $_POST['name']. In short, you're reversing the assignment in the PHP. 2. It's clear that you're not comfortable using arrays. Why attempt sticking the names in separate arrays when you need only one array? 3. Again, another array issue. Arrays have the format of: <?php $array[$key] = $value; ?> It looks like you're sticking the key next to the name, rather than inside the brackets. Try something like... HTML: <input type="text" name="b[]" /><br /> <input type="text" name="b[]" /><br /> . . . PHP: <?php $b = $_POST['b[]']; ?> Inserting the values into the DB depends on how your DB is structured.
