jasper182 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 On my html form, I'm creating dynamic textboxes with javascript whenever the user selects an "Add New" button. However, when I post the page back to the server I am having problems deciding how to best parse the dynamic fields because I am unsure how many fields were created or if others that were previously created are now deleted. For example, when the data is posted back, I could have the textboxes "textbox1, textbox2, textbox3" or I could have "textbox3, textbox5, textbox6" if the user added fields and then deleted some of them. If anyone could help point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Also, if more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Use an array, either specifically numbered textbox[1], textbox[2]... or let them be numbered by the browser textbox[], textbox[]... Then in the form processing code you can simply use a foreach() loop to iterate over them - foreach($_POST[textbox] as $value) { echo $value; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper182 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Great, I was hoping there was a way to post them as an array. I'll try it out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
