I'm creating a form where a user can add named people with a Name, Address, Phone and Email. There's also a javascript in place that allows a user to add another row/person. When they click this, it reveals another set of fields for Name, Address, Phone and Email for the second person and so on.
My question is how would I then get this submitted into the form in the Control Panel?
I was wondering if anyone has built anything like this before?
Thanks.
Two possible strategies come to mind for this:
As another user suggested, create as many Name, Address, Phone and Email fields as you need or think will need, and add a suffix for each field name (eg. name_1, name_2, etc)
If you're manually creating your fields in the template using {exp:freeform:form}, add brackets [] to your field names so that you save the data as an array of data. Eg.
Name: <input type="text" name="name[]" />
Name: <input type="text" name="name[]" />
// etc...
For #2, this will however store all data in a single custom field, separated by a linebreak (not <br />, by the way). For example, in the "name" field in the CP you would have the following stored for three names entered:
Curly
Larry
Moe
You'll need PHP to break those apart if you need them later (using PHP's explode() function or a third-party plugin that does something similar).
