Submitting a multidimensional array via POST with php

by

On submitting, you would get an array as if created like this:

$_POST['topdiameter'] = array( 'first value', 'second value' );
$_POST['bottomdiameter'] = array( 'first value', 'second value' );

However, I would suggest changing your form names to this format instead:

name="diameters[0][top]"
name="diameters[0][bottom]"
name="diameters[1][top]"
name="diameters[1][bottom]"
...

Using that format, it’s much easier to loop through the values.

if ( isset( $_POST['diameters'] ) )
{
    echo '<table>';
    foreach ( $_POST['diameters'] as $diam )
    {
        // here you have access to $diam['top'] and $diam['bottom']
        echo '<tr>';
        echo '  <td>', $diam['top'], '</td>';
        echo '  <td>', $diam['bottom'], '</td>';
        echo '</tr>';
    }
    echo '</table>';
}
