dynamic form

[ag3nt42]

I'm trying to create a dynamic form where I collect information about random items a person might have.

For instance say I start them out with 5 static item inputs.. I give them a few buttons..

 

1 - ITEM NAME - QTY - ITEMID-1

2 - ITEM NAME - QTY - ITEMID-2

3 - ITEM NAME - QTY - ITEMID-3

4 - ITEM NAME - QTY - ITEMID-4

5 - ITEM NAME - QTY - ITEMID-5

 

ADDITEM      CLEARFORM    SUBMIT FORM

 

...

 

Once they click AddItem I want to generate a new item input as well as incriment all of the numbers

EI to item 6.

 

my question...

what would be the best way to go about this?

 

I've tried using some JS but to no avail.. and I'm thinking it would end up being way over complicated and wouldn't be able to save the information static...

 

so now i'm thinkin php

 

Maybe like.. onclick=GO TO NEWITEM.php

 

NEWITEM.php - updates the database to add another item input and increments the item numbrs ect..

 

then it needs to be sent back to the page and output to the user.

 

I just don't know if this is plausable to attempt or if I would be wasting my time..

 

any suggestions are appreciated..

 

thanks,

yes it's plausible and you're on the right track.
