Is this possible? Need to keep fields to a minimum...

Hey,

Ok just wanted to know if the following was possible and if so, how I would go about doing this.

Ok, I'm setting up a content management system for our company and we want to add orders to it. Now, we want to offer the ability to add more than 1 product to the order, possibly 10 for one order.

Now, instead of having the following fields.

fld_prod_1, fld_prod_2, fld_prod_2...fld_prod_10 etc

And they all have the individual product id numbers, could I not just create one field called fld_products and be able to enter product id numbers seperated by commas.

So it would look like this:

1, 10, 5, 6 etc

Now, we need to be able to view these orders and it needs to output the name of the product, price etc, so we need to have a while statement that repeats the code for gathering product data. How do I then seperate the data in one field?

Any ideas? Hope I made sense...

Cheers,
Chris

Yep...

input... name='fld_prod[]'

Then grab them from the array when your form is submitted...

$products = implode("," $fld_prod);

"$products" will have a string with what you want...

Good luck...v
