$("#addSkill").click(function () {

if(skillctr>10){
        alert("WOW! But 10 skills are enough.");
        return false;
}   

var newTextBoxDiv = $(document.createElement('div'))
     .attr("id", 'SkillDiv' + skillctr);

newTextBoxDiv.html('<label>Skill No. '+ skillctr + ' : </label>' +
      '<input type="text" name="skill' + skillctr +
      '" id="skill' + skillctr + '" value="" >');

skillctr++;
 });

so how can i save the generated fields in my table in database now?
how am i gonna declare the field in php like.. $_POST[‘skill’].
i need help here. please

Answer 1

Don’t use name="skill' + skillctr + '", use name="skill[]".
That way PHP will helpfully create an array that you can loop though:

var_dump($_POST);

foreach ($_POST['skill'] as $skill) {
    // save $skill to database
}
