How to insert multiple textfield? - php

Question

I'm working on a project for school.
It's an invoice program but I'm stuck, can anyone help me
figure out how to get the values out of multiple textboxes /fields
and insert them in to my database.
This is what it looks like.
The user can select the amount of textfields that will be inserted in to the database.

Easy example:
<?php
$host=''; //define host
$user='xxx'; //define username
$pass='xxx'; //define password
$db_name='xxx'; //define db name
$db = new mysqli($host, $user, $pass, $db_name);
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
if(isset($_POST['status'])) { //code called when user sent form
$status = mysqli_escape_string($db, ($_POST['status']));
//same way to save other fields, just rename "status" to your value
$sql = "INSERT INTO /* table name here */ (status, /* define other line in DB here */) VALUES ('$status', /* define other variables to save here */)"; //save into database, see the example below
//example: $sql = "INSERT INTO mydatabase (status, email, name) VALUES ('$status', '$email', '$name')";
if ($db->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Saved.";
}
else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
}
?>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>" method="POST">
<label for="status">Status: </label>
<input id="status" name="status" value="" />
//add other fields here, just rename "status" to your value
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send form" /></form>
It may be what you are looking for, just adapt it yourself.
