I’ve been searching google to find the code, but I can’t find it. What I want to do is pretty simple, but I’m not php expert.

I want to insert multiple cities’ name in a single press of submit button (if that is possible)

I have created a database with 2 tables: ‘cities’ and ‘states’
and I have populated the states table

so I need two fields or boxes, one is for states, which is drop down ‘select’ box which already filled with states name, pulled from the database,

the other one is a cities field which a text type field (type=”text”).

I want to be able to type in multiple cities name, probably separated with ‘,’ a comma,
and with a single press of submit button, all the value will be inserted into mysql cities table and go on to the next state.

I know I need to create some sort of loop, but I have no idea how to do it.

             $n = count($cities);
             for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++){
             //Insert data
                    mysql_query("insert into `cities` (city,state) values  ('".$cities[$i]."','".$_POST['state']."') or die(mysql_error());
