How to build a Form to save like 10 products on a row? I want a form with a "+" button and dinamically add line and submit all products in a row.
any help or clue? thanks in advance
You could use Javascript(jQuery) to add the form elements to your page dynamically when you click the "Add" button. Something like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#btnAdd').click(function() {
var num = $('.clonedInput').length;
var newNum = new Number(num + 1);
var newElem = $('#input' + num).clone().attr('id', 'input' + newNum);
newElem.children(':first').attr('id', 'name' + newNum).attr('name', 'name' + newNum);
$('#input' + num).after(newElem);
$('#btnDel').attr('disabled','');
if (newNum == 5)
$('#btnAdd').attr('disabled','disabled');
});
$('#btnDel').click(function() {
var num = $('.clonedInput').length;
$('#input' + num).remove();
$('#btnAdd').attr('disabled','');
if (num-1 == 1)
$('#btnDel').attr('disabled','disabled');
});
$('#btnDel').attr('disabled','disabled');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myForm">
<div id="input1" style="margin-bottom:4px;" class="clonedInput">
Name: <input type="text" name="name1" id="name1" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="button" id="btnAdd" value="add another name" />
<input type="button" id="btnDel" value="remove name" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Reference
Then when the form is posted, you can walk through the $_POST array.
That is very least amount of code, to see your working process.
But basically such tasks are solved, by storing all the information on the session as a multidimensional array and finally inserting them one by one on the last point.
