chintansshah Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hello, during dynamic create of form value, in for loop write a below code <input type="hidden" name="dynamic_value[]" value="$value[$i]"> So, you get those values in the form submit page. * you haven't write action in form open tag and your submit works properly, there are no changes required. let me know any error you get.
