PHP: Getting Post Information

[Tanner8]

Hey, well the problem is that I have a form with a few fields. When you click the add row button it adds a row to the table with the same fields for the user to enter. My question is, how can I get all the information the user entered in a specific field throughout the table. Here is an example..


Name|Age
Jon | 17
Joe | 59
Kelly | 25


Now I want to get the names, but since the new created fields have the same name as the first field, I get just "Kelly" when I want to get all of them. Do you understand? Javascript is creating fields under the same name and I can only access one of them. I want to be able to create them under the same name, but have access to all of them.

Thanks

Not possible. What you need to do is sort of your javascript.
I'm taking a blind guess at your code, but you'll need something like this

  var tablebody = .........
  var newrow = doument.createElement('tr');
  var newtd = document.createElement('td');
  var newinput = document.createElement('input');
  newinput.type = 'text';
  newinput.name = 'name_' + tablebody.rows.length;
  newtd.appendChild(newinput);
  newrow.appendChild(newtd);
  
  newtd = document.createElement('td');
  newinput = document.createElement('input');
  newinput.type = 'text';
  newinput.name = 'age_' + tablebody.rows.length;
  newtd.appendChild(newinput);
  newrow.appendChild(newtd);
  
  tablebody.appendChild(newtr);

You could also have a hidden input which keeps track of how many rows there are.

Short and simple...You need to be using arrays as the names of the <inputs>.

What I ended up doing was sort of appending a number each time a new field was created. Then I can access each one by going through a for loop and looking at the values after appending numbers.
