Aray from textfeilds.

[the_oliver]

Hello,

 

Im trying to build something where a user can select from a dropdown menu a number.  After the form has been submited another form appears, with the same number of textareas as the number they chose in the dropdown menu. 

 

I can work that bit out, but the bit that im unsure of is how when they submit the new form, i can place each of the entries into an aray to be transfered into a database?  Does that make sence.

 

Thanks.

I would give the generated textareas the same name and end the name with square brackets eg: myTxtAreaName[]

 

That will submit the textareas in an array called myTxtAreaName then us $_POST['txtAreaName'][0] to get the first textarea, $_POST['txtAreaName'][1] for the second etc. Remember arrays start at zero and not 1.

Alternatively, you can run a for loop on the myTxtAreaName. This will help if you don't know the number of textareas that are going to be used

I think you meant a foreach() loop
