Question

I need to pull the contents of some input text boxes into a database. The first box is displayed but I’m using this Javascript to create some of them dynamically:

var counter = 1;
var limit = 10;
function addInput(divName){
     if (counter !== limit)  {
          var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
          newdiv.innerHTML = " <input type='text' name='myInputs[]' size=40>";
          document.getElementById(divName).appendChild(newdiv);
          counter++;
     }
}

How can I add a value to the form which will be different for each box created so I can reference them in PHP?

Thanks!

Edit: scratch that, I’ve never tried using an array to group inputs, but it works so use that instead. Keep the name of your inputs as myInputs[] but reference in php like this:

$_POST[myInputs][0]

for your first field and

$_POST[myInputs][1]

for the second etc..
