is there a quiker way?

[mbbout]

i'm setting up some kind of birthdaycalander. i'm using 3 form fields:
firts name(name=first), last name(name=last) and birthday(name=day)
let's say i want to add 20 peolpe at once.
on the 1st page i ask how many to add,
on the 2nd page i get 20x3 fields.

this is what i do nowon the 3rd page ( using a $i):

insert into $tabel first1, last1, day1 values '$first1', '$last1', '$day1' ....$i++
insert into $tabel first2, last2, day2 values '$first2', '$last2', '$day2'.....$i++
insert into $tabel first3, last3, day3 values '$first3', '$last3', '$day3' ... $i++
etc

is there a quiker way?

yeah. Make your fields arrays by adding [] after the name.

<input type="text" name="first[]">

and do them all like that

<input type="text" name="first[]">

so when they submit, you have access to the array $_POST['first']

Then, loop through the array and insert into the database.
