I'm trying to make a form that uses arrays so once it is submitted and processed multiple rows get inserted into my database. My main program is more complex than below but I could not get it working so I decides to create a small simple program to understand the basic syntax better then apply the techniques to the main program. I have got it to work using the depreciated MySQL but converting it to MySQLi is causing problems that I wonder if I can get help with.
My form is set up like this
<html>
<title>multi row insert test form</title>
<body>
<table>
<form action="process2.php" method="post">
<tr>
<th>forename</th>
<th>surname</th>
<th>level</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="fname[]"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="sname[]"></td>
<td>
<select name="level[]">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="fname[]"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="sname[]"></td>
<td>
<select name="level[]">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
</body>
</html>
and the php page that updates the database using MySQLi is as below
<?php
include 'dbconnect2.php';
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$sname = $_POST['sname'];
$level = $_POST['level'];
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO people (fname, sname, level) values (?, ?, ?)")) {
$stmt->bind_param('ssi', $fname, $sname, $level);
for ($i=0; $i<2; $i++)
{
$fname[$i] = $fname;
$sname[$i] = $sname;
$level[$i] = $level;
$stmt->execute();
echo "Done";
}
$stmt->close();
}
?>
