Hi,

On a page, I have a form with a variable number of fields.

to print these fields, I have such a code :
while ($i !=0){
echo '<td> <input type="text" name="component'.$i.'" size="20"
value="" maxlength="70"> </td><br>
<td> <input type="text" name="quantity'.$i.'" size="20"
value="" maxlength="70"><br>
</td> </tr><tr>' ;
$i = $i - 1 ;
}

I then get variables such as component1, component2, etc. and quantity1,
quantity2, etc.

next page I want to enter these values into a MySQL table.

I am therefore passing from one page to another the value of the variables,
and some others.


I get the following code :
<?
$i = $nombercomponent ;
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', '', '');
mysql_select_db('recipe',$db);
while ($i !=0){
$sql = "INSERT INTO component VALUES('','','$ingr','$quant')";
mysql_query($sql) or die('Error !'.$sql.'<br>'.mysql_error());
$i = $i - 1 ;
}
mysql_close();
?>

How to have $ingr and $quant corresponding to all component and quantity
variable there number is variable ?


Thanks in advance

Philippe

What is the version of php you are using? If you would have bothered to
type in your question in the google search groups box, you would have
found the answer a zillion times. (hint: register globals)

It's probably not a bad idea to perform a mysql_escape_string on the
values you are trying to insert into your database.
