How to get values of dynamically created input text fields? - php

Question

Sorry for grammar mistakes. I have multiple dynamically created text fields (more than 100). how can i get the values of these fields. i don't know the number of fields. Please help me.
Example
<input type="text" name="id_1" />
<input type="text" name="id_2" />
<input type="text" name="id_3" />
................
<input type="text" name="id_100" />

Answer 1

Use arrays:
<input type="text" name="id[1]" />
<input type="text" name="id[2]" />
<input type="text" name="id[3]" />
Then:
foreach($_POST['id'] as $key => $value) {
echo "text $key = $value";
}

If you mean you want to get their values in PHP easily, just name them like "name[]".
<form method="post" action="yourscript.php">
<input type="text" name="input[]" />
<input type="text" name="input[]" />
<input type="text" name="input[]" />
<input type="text" name="input[]" />
<input type="text" name="input[]" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
This way you'll be able to get the values in yourscript.php. They'll be in $_POST['input']. Just loop over it using foreach to get the values:
foreach($_POST['input'] as $value) {
// do what you want with the $value
}
Having index numbers in the names like this:
<input type="text" name="input[1]" />
<input type="text" name="input[2]" />
is redundant.

In HTML forms, using jQuery:
$(function() {
$("input[name^='id']").each(function() {
var name = $(this).attr('name');
var inputValue = this.value;
console.log(name + " : "+ this.value);
});
});

Hoa about adding a hidden field to pass the number of fields to the processing script?
<input type='hidden' name='num_text_fields' valus='100>
The do a for loop to get the values
$num_text_fields = $_POST['num_text_fields'];
for ($i=1;$i<=$num_text_fields;$i++)
{
$text_field_name = "id_" . $i;
$value = $_POST[$text_field_name];
// do something with $valus
}

I think the best way to do it is to add a class element to your input.
Then you can be easily able to find them regardless of how many you have
