Question

I would like to submit multiple ROWS of field columns using an HTML form with the only difference being the corresponding server side identifier.

Pseudo:

    ID(257) -> Name, Color, Price
    ID(415) -> Name, Color, Price

I prefer NOT to:

1. Have each group as its own form and submit via JavaScript.
2. Concatenate the id and real name and unmerge on the server.

Thanks

You can use the same input name when attaching a [] to it, in PHP this will result in an array on submission:

<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>

<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="name[257]">
<input type="text" name="name[415]">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Result:

Array
(
    [name] => Array
        (
            [257] => first field
            [415] => second field
        )

)
