Question

I was going to use jQuery to clone the input field when I click a button to make another field, but I was thinking of doing:

Page One, Page Two, Page Three <- then send that as one $_POST to the server and have it take each page and break on the "," comma then for each insert in to my POSTS table.

Any idea on how I would do that? Would I use explode()? Then inside a foreach() run a query for each item in the field.

So if there were 5 pages typed in separated by commas, it would run five times using the foreach().

for each(){   EXECUTE SQL HERE } 

Does that sound like it would be the best way of going about it?

Answer 1

If you set the name attribute of the input element to the name of an array, e.g. foo[], you’ll be able to access it as such when processing the $_POST vars, e.g.

<input name='foo[]' type='text'/> <input name='foo[]' type='text'/> 

becomes two iterations of:

foreach ($_POST['foo'] as $foo) {     // process $foo }
