I'm working on a data entry for for this application, and I'm stuck at what=
 may end up being some bad code.  I'm capturing data for two tables (custin=
fo and orderinfo) on one page.  The top part of the data entry form collect=
s data once for the transaction, kind of like an invoice captures customer =
details.  The bottom part (the part I'm stuck on) captures order informatio=
n line after line.

So, for example:

TopForm (custinfo)
Customer name
Customer address
Customer city, state, zip

Bottom form (orderinfo)
Item description
Item quantity
Item price

What I'm looking for is two things:

1)  The ability to extend the bottom form item by item as the order grows.

2)  The ability to remove items (last in, first out) if the order needs to =
shrink.

I can already clear the form, cancel data entry, and submit data for proces=
sing; I need to know how to dynamically enlarge or shrink the second half o=
f the form.

Can this be done in PHP?
