    <p>I've created a user form in which once the submit button is pressed I would like to send/insert the data to mysql database adding a new record. The form has over 100 input fields.

    3. CO@Don Austin: You are basically looking for something called an array: http://php.net/array and then something called [loops](http://php.net/control-structures.foreach) - the rest like the HTML form and the SQL query you seem to already know but take care that the database client library you use makes it easy to write unsafe code and is not under active development any longer.

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.
