Help with adding multiple entries with a form

[peternvk]

Hi everyone,

Ill keep my question very brief and hopefully someone can help me out. I currently have a form that adds data into a mysql database. What I would like to do is submit a duplicate entry as many times as specified in a "quantity" box. Pretty much I want the user to specify how many of the same record he would like to create. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter N

a very simple example (with no form validation):

<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	echo '
	<form action="" method="POST">
	data: <input type="text" name="data"><br>
	quantity: <input type="text" name="quantity"><br>
	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
	</form>
	';
}
else
{
	for ($i = 1; $i <= $_POST['quantity']; $i++)
	{
		$sql = "INSERT INTO table SET data = '" . $_POST['data'] . "'";
		// run query here
	}
}
?>
