    <p>I have a form with an "add contact" section, where upon a click, it adds another row to the form with 3 more input boxes. (The segment of code on jfiddle: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/fmdx/cYxYP/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/fmdx/cYxYP/</a>)</p> <p>HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action=""&gt; &lt;div style="padding-left:40px;"&gt; &lt;div id="customcopies" style="padding-left:40px;"&gt; 1. Name: &lt;input type="text" id="copiestoname_1" name="copiestoname[]" placeholder="Jane Doe Smith" required&gt;, Institution: &lt;input type="text" id="copiestoinst_1" name="copiestoinst[]" placeholder="Bank" required&gt;, Method: &lt;input type="text" id="copiestomethod_1" name="copiestomethod[]" placeholder="Email" required&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit_val" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>With this being the PHP/MYSQL for insertion:</p> <pre><code>if (isset($_POST['submit_val'])) { foreach ($_POST['copiestoname'] as $key=&gt;$value) { $copiestoname = mysql_real_escape_string($value); mysql_query("INSERT INTO copiesto (name) VALUES ('$copiestoname')") or die(mysql_error()); echo "Completed"; } echo "" . count($_POST['copiestoname']) . " Names Added&lt;br&gt;"; mysql_close(); } </code></pre> <p>The table in the database is:</p> <pre><code>Table Name: copiesto +-------------+-------------+-------------+---------+ | index | name | institution | method | +-------------+-------------+-------------+---------+ </code></pre> <p>How would I expand the current MYSQL code to accept entries from the other 2 arrays and input their data into the same MYSQL row during that loop?</p>

    1. CODo you have a reason for using `mysql_query`? Is this a legacy application from the 1990s?

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
