I simply mean; can we see the markup for your form?

There are a lot of different ways your form could be set up.
If we know exactly how it looks like we are not forced to guess, which means we can provide much better suggestions.

We really don't like guessing :)

Ok.

If you give several <input> elements the same name, and if that name ends with [], then PHP will read all those elements into an array when they are submitted.
Which means you could add as many of those <input> elements as you want to your form and have your PHP go through all of them with a simple foreach loop.

So, if you were to name all your Name inputs "name[]", and all your Email inputs "email[]", then a loop like this would print the value for each of them once they were submitted:

foreach($_POST['name'] as $_index => $_name)
{
    $_email = $_POST['email'][$_index];
    echo "$_index - Name: $_name, Email: $_email<br />";
}
 

You could use the empty and isset functions to eliminate empty rows and only use those who pass your validation.

Also...
Use [code] tags when posting you code examples.
As a full member I expect you to know this by now.
Please keep that in mind in the future.

Thank you.
