Textarea[] Update

[kbc1]

Hi,

Hopefully a simple one for pro's out there.

Can someone kindly explain how I would go about updating th content of X number of textareas within my PHP Form please?

My textareas are created dynamically via a query and displayed accordingly:

<textarea name=\"questiontext\" cols=\"1\" rows=\"1\">$questiontext</textarea>

The content of any text area can be edited by the user and I would liek to simply run an update query and update each field in my table with the corresponding content from each text area when the user presses a submit button.

P.S. each $questiontext also has a corresponding $questionid of that would help.
Many Thanks

You nearly have answered your own question. 😉

Your textarea should look like this...

<textarea name='questiontext[]' cols='1' rows='1'>$questiontext</textarea>

And then when you submit you'll have an array of them...

// your array
$_POST['questiontext'];

// if you want to see the array
print_r($_POST['questiontext']);

An array is an array...go to town from there. 😉
