I am trying to get values from a set of input text boxes, the number of text boxes can be set by the user, so cant give individual names of each text box, but How can I get values from my controller to insert data to db table

Thank you

    You can leave the form as it is (and use suggestions from @Wizzard and @Lee), but the best practice is to use an incrementing variable to construct the list. i.e.:

    for($i=0;$i<$option_number;$i++){
   echo $form->input("MyModel.{$i}.option");
}

    This way your variable after posting the form will look like:

    data[MyModel][0][option] = ‘the value’
    dataMyModel[option] = ‘the value’
    data[MyModel][2][option] = ‘the value’
    … and so on…

    In the controller you can access the posted data by:

    print_r($this->data);

    Take a look saveAll() (search for saveAll in your browser and look for suggested data structure)
