form to post multiple inputs into post_content table

[KJThaDon]

I have a form, with multiple inputs that I am trying to get posted to the wordpress "post_content". I am able to get the title field and only one other field to post successfully, only when making a field name "description" instead of "description[]", but have no idea how I can get the rest to submit into the post_content. I would like the inputs posted like the image I have created below.

 

 

Here is the code I currently have that works for the title only.

<?php /* Template Name: Question Form */ ?>



    <?php

    if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) &&  $_POST['action'] == "new_post") {

    if (isset ($_POST['title'])) {

     $title =  $_POST['title'];

    } else {

     echo 'Please enter a title';

    }

    if (isset ($_POST['description'])) {

     $description = $_POST['description'];

    } else {

     echo 'Please enter the content';

    }

    $tags = $_POST['post_tags'];

    $new_post = array(

     'post_title'    => $title,

     'post_content'  => $_POST['description'],

     'post_parent' => 599,

     'post_status'   => 'publish',

     'post_type' => 'topic'

    );

    $topic_meta = array(

    'forum_id'       => $new_post['post_parent']

    );

    $topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_post, $topic_meta);

    wp_redirect(get_permalink($topic_id)); exit;

    }

    ?>



    <form id="new_post" name="new_post" method="post" action="">



    <p class="question"><label>Title</label><input name="title" type="text"></p>



    <p class="question"><label>Description</label><input name="description[]" type="text"></p>



    <p class="question"><label>Your First Name</label><input name="description[]" type="text"></p>



    <p class="question"><label>Your Last Name</label><input name="description[]" type="text"></p>



    <p align="right"><input type="submit" value="Publish" tabindex="6" id="submit" name="submit" /></p>



    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="new_post" />



    <?php wp_nonce_field( 'new-post' ); ?>



    </form>

I don't know how to add the other fields to be a part of post_content.

 

I have tried a few other things, but have been unsuccessful. I would appreciate any help very much!

Change

    <p class="question"><label>Description</label><input name="description[]" type="text"></p>
    <p class="question"><label>Your First Name</label><input name="description[]" type="text"></p>
    <p class="question"><label>Your Last Name</label><input name="description[]" type="text"></p>

to

    <p class="question"><label>Description</label><input name="description" type="text"></p
    <p class="question"><label>Your First Name</label><input name="firstName" type="text"></p>
    <p class="question"><label>Your Last Name</label><input name="lastName" type="text"></p>

Now get the description with $_POST['description'], the first name with  $_POST['firstName'] and the last name with $_POST['lastName']

 

You'll then define 'post_content' using

$post_content = '<p>Description: ' . $_POST['description'] . '</p>'.
                '<p>First Name: ' . $_POST['firstName'] . '</p>'.
                '<p>Last Name: ' . $_POST['lastName'] . '</p>';
...
$new_post = array(
     'post_title'    => $title,
     'post_content'  => $post_content,
...
);
