sending mutiple entries to a database

[gleemonex]

I'm a little stuck.

After alot of work I've got this page set up that has multiple select fields on it.

Each field has the same name of food[].

This then stores each select menu value in the food[] array. Im now wondering how i can pull each array value out, compare it to another value, and then enter a new row with the resulting values into a table.

Mostly i'm just fuzzy on how to seperate the array.

ex. If the selected items are steak, peas, and cake.

Then is should be food[0] = steak, food[1] = peas and food[2] = cake.

Am i correct with that?

If so, what if there are more or less items? Should I just set up a for loop or something?

Like I said I'm just trying to get a grasp on the correct syntax. I'm still a little new to PHP 🙂

It's more than likely just a straight-forward [man]foreach[/man] loop...

FOREACH($food AS $value){
// Do something with the $value
echo $value."<br />";
}

Now, obviously you want to do more with it, but this shows you how it separates your array for you. Your output will be as follows (given the example you provided):

steak
peas
cake
