I\'m not much of a web programmer, but I\'m creating a simple web app that has a form where the user can enter a series of points (x,y,z) but I don\'t know how many the user
What you're saying is that you're hand writing the input tags? Or are you saying that you want a dynamic action where a user clicks a button and it adds more table rows?
In anycase, for your code, you just need a loop, like so. I assume $data is whatever data you want to set based on an array that is probably from the database or something:
= $i+1 ?>
Of course you can't copy and past the above, but that's a good starting point.
For dynamically doing it, you can't use php. What it sounds like you want to use is javascript ajax, and php combination.
