    <p>I am developing in a form in which people can order a catering service done by a tray system(ordering foods by try size, medium and large) and I'm having trouble on figuring out on how to do this. My first idea was to code it like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form id="tray" name="tray" method="post" action="send_mail_tray.php" onsubmit='return packageValidator()'&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Pork Fried Rice&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Med.:&lt;br /&gt; Lg. : &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="PorkFriedRiceMed" style="width: 20px; height: 15px" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="PorkFriedRiceLg" style="width: 20px; height: 15px" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Vegetable Spring Rolls&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Med.:&lt;br /&gt; Lg. : &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="VegetableSpringRollsMed" style="width: 20px; height: 15px" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="VegetableSpringRollsLg" style="width: 20px; height: 15px" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Beef w/ Broccoli&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Med.:&lt;br /&gt; Lg. : &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="Beefw/BroccoliMed" style="width: 20px; height: 15px" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="Beefw/BroccoliLg" style="width: 20px; height: 15px" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="Submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>With this method, I would have to be able to post the variable name along with the value. At first I thought this would have been the best method, however, after thinking about it, the list of foods being offered is over 150 which means I would have to create over 300 $_POSTs to get the entire menu and the e-mail I would be sending would have to contain all the items on the list, even if they were not ordered. Is there an easier way to go about making the form I'm doing or is my first method the best way?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
