    <p>I'm building a website where people can place orders and this is the first time I've had to insert multiple rows at a time and I'm lost. I know that I need a FOR loop to perform this, but I'm lost as to how to construct the loop. I'm using PHP, MySQL (obviously) with jQuery. I'm using the jQuery to .append() a new select box into the form to allow the client to choose another item.</p> <p>This is how I usually construct my code to allow users to insert into the database. My question is how and where would I insert a loop that way multiples rows can be submitted all at once without having to insert them one by one. Anything would be helpful, thank you.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { if (!$_POST['col1'] | !$_POST['col2'] | !$_POST['col3']) { die ("error"); } if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['col1'] = addslashes ($_POST['col1']); $_POST['col2'] = addslashes ($_POST['col2']); $_POST['col3'] = addslashes ($_POST['col3']); } $insert = "insert into table (col1, col2, col3) values ('".$_POST['col1']."', '".$_POST['col2']."', '".$_POST['col3']."')"; mysql_query ($insert); } else { ?&gt; &lt;form action="&lt;?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?&gt;" method="post"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="col1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="col2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="col3"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; //I'm using jQuery .append() to insert more text boxes with names (col1, col2, col3) here &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>My confusion is where to put the loop... I know it should be a FOR loop, but I could never get one to work. Thanks again for any help.</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.
