Form post, unknown number of fields to retrieve

[jasonwisdom]

Hi everybody!

 

I am building a custom PHP app, and am submitting a form.

This form will have between 1 or more textareas, named "textarea1", "textarea2", "textarea200", and so on.

 

I need to read each of these and insert them into a database. 

 

How can I script this into the PHP landing page?

 

Is there a way to read all of the values, and names, that are contained in $_POST.

 

Many thanks,

Jason

Instead of naming them "textarea1", "textarea2" etc, name them "textarea[]" so they are posted as an array.

 

To process

foreach ($_POST['textarea'] as $text) {
    // process each $text item
}
