How would I create this array structure in an HTML form?

Question

I have the following HTML form, which is being generated dynamically from a table in a MySQL database.

Answer 1

The following appeared to work for me:

<input type='text' name='chapters[0][id]'>
<input type='text' name='chapters[0][name]'>
<input type='password' name='chapters[0][password]'>

<input type='text' name='chapters[1][id]'>
<input type='text' name='chapters[1][name]'>
<input type='password' name='chapters[1][password]'>

Answer 2

You can simply create your form like this

<form method="post" name="chapters">
<?php 
for($i = 0; $i <3; $i++)
{
    echo "ID: <input type='text'  name='chapters[$i][id]' /> <br />";
    echo "Name: <input type='text' name='chapters[$i][name]' /> <br />";
    echo "Password: <input type='text' name='chapters[$i][password]' /> <br /> ";
    echo "<Br />";
}
?>
<input type='submit'>
</form>

Sample PHP

if(isset($_POST['chapters']))
{
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($_POST['chapters']);
}

Sample Output

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => Name1
            [password] => Password1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => name 2
            [password] => password 2
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => name 3
            [password] => Password
        )

)
