Hi there,

I own web form builder 2.4 currently... and I want to know if adding multiple entry dynamically is possible..

for example, we have following entries: quantity, item name, and vendor. if user wants to add more item name then it should have button/link that allows adding these entries on click. and when save it in to the database, these data should be kept in the separate rows (since these data will be stored in array if user submit multiple entries I assume?)

this should not be a complicated, but i just dont know where to start with.......

help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance

If I'm reading you correctly you can do this with the built in conditionals. Take a look at those, I think they will fit your need.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I have tried that, thing is that I have to manually set all repeating sections manually....
and another thing is that I need to put these each repeating sections on separate rows in the database... it seems like when I submit the form, it creates the columns (either than creating new rows) for repeating sections at same rows in the table..

am I doing something wrong? or are there alternate way of doing this?

Thanks!

You'll need to write your own formname.php script to process the data and insert each variable into the table as a separate line if their set.
