I know that this sounds like something overly complex - because it is.
However, if I can keep the user interface the way it is, my users will
be ultra happy! That is the goal...

In general, this is an inventory receiving piece of an overall larger
web-based ERP system.

What I have is a form in which I have a dynamic number of multline
textareas for inputting (possibly barcode scanning in) many serial
numbers per lineitem recieved.

For example:
lineitem01 = widget01; qtyReceived = 2;
lineitem02 = widget02; qtyReceived = 3;
lineitem03 = widget03; qtyReceived = 10;

This would display a form that will generate 3 textarea elements (1
per lineitem received). Inside each textarea element will be input the
serial numbers for each of the widgets received per lineitem. i.e. 2
serial numbers will be entered for widget01; 3 for widget02; and 10
for widget03;

So, what I am trying to do is pass this data over, possibly as a multi-
dimensional array to another form ( or possibly
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) to update a MySQL database to store the widget/
serial numbers.

Any ideas at all on how to approach this problem are welcomed.

Thanks.
