#7596 — How to add dynamic textbox (row) and save to database using PHP

Hi. I have here my Javascript code that adds dynamic textbox (row) my problem is how can I save this to database using PHP script? How you can help me guys.. Thanks!

<script type="text/JavaScript"> 
function addRow(r){ 
var root = r.parentNode;//the root 
var allRows = root.getElementsByTagName('tr');//the rows' collection 
var cRow = allRows[0].cloneNode(true)//the clone of the 1st row 
var cInp = cRow.getElementsByTagName('input');//the inputs' collection of the 1st row 
for(var i=0;i<cInp.length;i++){//changes the inputs' names (indexes the names) 
cInp[i].setAttribute('name',cInp[i].getAttribute('name')+'_'+(allRows.length+1)) 
} 
root.appendChild(cRow);
} 
function shownames(){ 
var allInp=document.getElementsByTagName('input'); 
for(var i=0;i<allInp.length;i++){ 
alert(allInp[i].name) 
} 
} 
</script> 

My HTML code:

<form method= POST> <table width="1024" border="0" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="195"><div class="user"><input type="text" name="textfield_a" id="user" tabindex="6"/></div></td> <td width="410"><div class="reported"><input type="text" name="textfield_b" id="reported" tabindex="7"/></div></td> <td width="399"><div class="reported"><input type="text" name="textfield_c" id="reported" tabindex="8"/></div></td> <td width="10"><input name="button" type="button" value="+" onclick="addRow(this.parentNode.parentNode)"></td> </tr> </table> </form>

Since you are posting the form, the information will be in the $_POST 
superglobal.  Take a look at the contents of that.

Yes but how can I get the values inserted in each textbox in a row? You see when the user click the "+" button, three textboxes in a row will be added.

The content of each correctly named form element will be in the relevant 
member of the $_POST array. Get it from there.

Jerry already told you this.
