Submit data in a textbox from a while loop to database - php

Question

I need to enter scores for all subjects offered by all students in a class simultaneously. So I retrieved the students ID, retrieved the list of subjects being offered by the students, and placed a textbox under each subject.
Now, I want to submit the score in the database as well as the subject name and the student ID, but the score is not storing, just the subject name and the student ID.
Here is my code:
<form method="post">
<?php
include "includes/dbcon.php";
$subject_name ="";
echo "<table border='1'><thead><tr><td>Students Name</td>";
$query_subjects = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM junior_subjects ORDER BY subject_name ASC");
while ($row_subject=mysqli_fetch_array($query_subjects))
{
$subject_name .= $row_subject['subject_name'];
echo "<td>".$row_subject['subject_name']."</td>";
}
echo "</tr></thead>";
$query_students = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM students WHERE class_cat='Junior'");
while ($row_students=mysqli_fetch_array($query_students))
{
$student_id = $row_students['student_id'];
echo "<tr><td>".$row_students['student_id']."</td>";
$query_subjects2 = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM junior_subjects ORDER BY subject_name ASC");
while ($row_subject2 =mysqli_fetch_array($query_subjects2))
{
$subject_name2 =$row_subject2['subject_name'];
echo "<td>
<input type='text' hidden name='$subject_name2'>
<input type='text' size='4' name='$subject_name2'>
</td>";
/////
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$score = $_POST[$subject_name2];
mysqli_query($link,"INSERT INTO score_sheet(student_id,subject_name,score) VALUES('$student_id','$subject_name2','$score') ");
}
}
}
?>
<input type='submit' name='submit'>
</form>

Answer 1

You should have the input score as array and make a foreach loop to insert the query.
You should have the input field like this
And do a foreach loop like this
$score = $_POST['score'];
foreach ($score as $key)
{
$query = "INSERT INTO score_sheet(student_id,subject_name,score) VALUES('$student_id','$subject_name2','$key') ";
$query = mysqli_query($link,$query);
}
Note :
You should not have have two forms inside it.
I have made an eval for you
Warning :
It is not at all a good practise to have such a bulk entry.
