insert multiple same input fields php - php

Question

Good day.
<input type="text" name="title">
<input type="text" name="name[]">
<input type="text" name="name[]">
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']){
$title = $_POST['title'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$add = "INSERT INTO books (title, name) VALUES ('$title','$name')";
}
?>
How can this code work? It should be inserted with same title and different names at the same time. Thank you.
Sample Form
I want the record to be updated as follows:
---------------------------------
|--bookID--|--Title--|--Author--|
|----1-----|---one---|----me----|
|----2-----|---two---|---you----|
---------------------------------

Answer 1

$_POST['name'] is an array with key 0,1 ...
So in your example you ve got:
//This is just an example
foreach($_POST['name'] as $name) {
}
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Atul Vekariya example is correct but you need to also execute the query in the loop. That's why this example did not work for you.
if(is_array($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name'])) {
foreach($_POST['name'] as $name) {
$add = "INSERT INTO books (title, name) VALUES ('$title','$name')";
//execute query here. mysqli_query($add) or PDO::query
}
}

Answer 3

Please check below code
if(is_array($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name'])) {
foreach($_POST['name'] as $name) {
$add = "INSERT INTO books (title, name) VALUES ('$title','$name')";
//execute query here. mysqli_query($add) or PDO::query
}
}

After searching different solutions. Here is the one that works. Thank you for all the help.
<?php
include_once 'config/connect.php';
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
$title = $_POST['title'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$length = count($name);
$addBook = "INSERT INTO books (title,name) VALUES ";
for($i=0; $i<$length; $i++){
$addBook .= "('$title','$name[$i]'),";
}
$addBook = rtrim($addBook, ',');
if($conn->query($addBook) === TRUE) {
echo "Success";
} else {
echo "Error: ".$addBook."<br>".$conn->error;
}
}
?>
<form action="addBook.php" method="POST">
Title: <input type="text" name="title">
<br/>
Authors: <input type="text" name="name[]"> <input type="text" name="name[]">
<br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
