    <p>I have a form that has 8 columns and a variable number of rows which I need to email to the client in a nicely formatted email. The form submits the needed fields as a multidimensional array. Rough example is below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input name="order[0][topdiameter]" type="text" id="topdiameter0" value="1" size="5" /&gt; &lt;input name="order[0][bottomdiameter]" type="text" id="bottomdiameter0" value="1" size="5" /&gt; &lt;input name="order[0][slantheight]" type="text" id="slantheight0" value="1" size="5" /&gt; &lt;select name="order[0][fittertype]" id="fittertype0"&gt; &lt;option value="harp"&gt;Harp&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="euro"&gt;Euro&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="bulbclip"&gt;Regular&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;input name="order[0][washerdrop]" type="text" id="washerdrop0" value="1" size="5" /&gt; &lt;select name="order[0][fabrictype]" id="fabrictype"&gt; &lt;option value="linen"&gt;Linen&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="pleated"&gt;Pleated&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="order[0][colours]" id="colours0"&gt; &lt;option value="beige"&gt;Beige&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="white"&gt;White&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="eggshell"&gt;Eggshell&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="parchment"&gt;Parchment&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;input name="order[0][quantity]" type="text" id="quantity0" value="1" size="5" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>This form is formatted in a table, and rows can be added to it dynamically. What I've been unable to do is get a properly formatted table out of the array.</p> <p>This is what I'm using now (grabbed from the net).</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_POST["submit"])) { $arr= $_POST['order'] echo '&lt;table&gt;'; foreach($arr as $arrs) { echo '&lt;tr&gt;'; foreach($arrs as $item) { echo "&lt;td&gt;$item&lt;/td&gt;"; } echo '&lt;/tr&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/table&gt;; }; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>This works perfectly for a single row of data. If I try submitting 2 or more rows from the form then one of the columns disappears. I'd like the table to be formatted as:</p> <pre><code>| top | Bottom | Slant | Fitter | Washer | Fabric | Colours | Quantity | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |value| value | value | value | value | value | value | value | </code></pre> <p>with additional rows as needed. But, I can't find any examples that will generate that type of table! </p> <p>It seems like this should be something fairly straightforward, but I just can't locate an example that works the way I need it too.</p>

    1. COA couple of things - first it looks like you have a syntax error on your last lines of PHP - perhaps you're looking for `echo '</table>'; }` Secondly, when you have multiple rows, which column disappears? When you add more rows, do you change the `order[0]` to `order[1]` in the HTML?

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).
