Actually, it makes sense to me though. ( <input type="hidden" name="idn"
value="n"> is correct HTML, although it is spaced incorrectly, it is just as
good as spelling doesn't like so: doens't ;P )
I think he is asking how to insert multiple entries into a DB passed from a
form.
Assuming you know how many entries there will be, just iterate thru it with
a for loop. If you have 10 entries, for($a=0;$a<10;$a++) etc etc.
Otherwise:
I do agree using form element variables as an array like id[1], id[2]
instead of id1, id2. This way, when you go through the loop you can do
something like this:
$id_count = count($_POST['id']);
for($b=0;$b<$id_count;$b++){
mysql_query("INSERT INTO blahblah values ($_POST[id][$b],
$_POST[qty][$b]");
}
Not CnP, but you should get the point from that!
