How To Insert multiple values from a single form at once using PHP and MySQL
I trying to insert multiple names with their corresponding surnames in mysql using php but it seems like there is something am doing wrong . I tried google and this site but i have not yet got the best answer to suit my requirements .I also managed to insert them but the surnames could go to a wrong username then I decided to delete that code and start a new one .Any help will be highly appreciated .below is what I tried .
<form action ="dependant_Process_Trevor.php?memberid=<?php echo $_GET['memberid']; ?>" name="contactform" method="post" id ="---contactform" >
<input type="hidden" name ="memberid" value="<?php echo $_GET['memberid']; ?>" >

I finaly got the answer by the help of @Nigel Ren , all is fine am sorted here is the answer .
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$parent_type = $_POST['parent_type'];
$count = count($_POST['name']);
if(is_array($name) && is_array($surname) && is_array($parent_type)) {
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
var_dump($name[$i]);
$surname1 = $surname[$i];
$name1 =$name[$i];
$parent_type1 = $parent_type[$i];
///

I think there are a few problems, the first is most of this code is redundant...
foreach($_POST['name'] as $name)
foreach ($_POST['surname'] as $surname)
foreach($_POST['parent_type'] as $parent_type )
$count = count($_POST['name']);
As the foreach() has no {} all the loops will eventually just execute the last line, which will always be the same. So remove the 3 foreach() loops and just have
$count = count($_POST['name']);
Then to set the values for each loop, you almost had it (I think) and need...
$name = $_POST['name'][$i];
$surname = $_POST['surname'][$i];
Finally your test to see if it has worked
if($query){
is incorrect, you should check that all of the
$insert->execute(array(...));
statements return true and this should show that they have all been created.
