Question

When I click on buttons I generate some inputs field with custom attributes like that :

<input type='text' name='field["+ i++ +"]' value='' data-kind='title' />
<input type='text' name='field["+ i++ +"]' value='' data-kind='video' />
<input type='text' name='field["+ i++ +"]' value='' data-kind='text' />

I retrieve the ‘name’ value with a foreach loop in PHP :

$result = array_combine($num, $records);

    foreach ($result as $rank => $content)
    {
        $data = array(
            'content' => $content,
            'post_id' => $post_id,
            'rank' => $rank,
            'type' => $this->input->post('field_type') // HERE
            );
                echo '<pre>';print_r($data);echo '</pre>';
    }

To get the ‘type’ I do a $this->input->post('field_type'); which is given by this :

var field_type = $(":input[data-kind]").attr('data-kind');
$("#field_type").val(field_type' ');

and :

echo '<input type="hidden" id="field_type" name="field_type" value="" />';

But it only returns me the last ‘data-kind’ value not each one :/

Now i just need to loop the ‘data-kind’ value for each input fields and retrieve them in my foreach loop

Any help would be very very appreciated !!

Many thanks for your answers, it helped me a lot! But now how can I add the result in my current foreach at ‘type’ data :

$result = array_combine($num, $records);

    foreach ($result as $rank => $content)
    {
        $data = array(
            'content' => $content,
            'post_id' => $post_id,
            'rank' => $rank,
            'type' => // HERE I NEED EACH ATTRIBUTE VALUE
            );
                echo '<pre>';print_r($data);echo '</pre>';
    }

If you want to place all of the data-kind values in the #field_type field, you need something like this:

var fieldTypes = [];
$("input[data-kind]").each(function()
{
    fieldTypes.push( $(this).attr('data-kind') );
});
$("#field_type").val(fieldTypes.join(','));
