Question

Pls help,

I have a form which dynamically generates textboxes. For eg:

        on |button| click
           |textbox 1|
           |textbox 2|
           |textbox 3|
           |textbox 4|
           .
           .
           .
           |textbox n|

           |submit|  

Where id of the textbox keeps autoincrementing while the name remains the same.
What I require is when i submit the form the values of the textboxes generated must be stored in an array and then the array is stored in database. How to store dynamically generated textbox value into a single array using codeigniter? Im new to codeigniter.

View file

<?php
     for($i=1;$i<10;$i++) { ?>
         <textarea name="texta[<?php echo $i;?>]"></textarea>
     <?php } ?>

Controller that catches the form

$array_of_textboxes = $this->input->post('texta');

Then your textbox values are in the array

You can have an array without keys if your html is

<textarea name="texta[]"></textarea>
