Checking the values of a repeated input field

You could either use different name for the form like:
  <input type="text" name="ins_cont_fina[<?php echo $repCounter ?>]" />"
Then  $_POST['ins_cont_fina'] wourld be an array where you could loop over:

foreach( $_POST['ins_cont_fina'] as $repCounter => $value) {
   if ($value != '') {
     // do something
   }
}

Other option is to loop over al variables and filter the ones out like:
forach($_POST as $k => $v) {
   if (strpos($k, 'ins_cont_fina_') === 0 && $v != '') {
     // do something
   }
}

Thanks,

I'm really sorry, my knowledge of manipulating array's is almost non-existent - i'm not sure I understand.

What I need to do is clear the value of ins_cont_fina if it equals the string : `First Name` - this should happen before the data is inserted into the data base.

You see... at the moment, if ins_cont_fina has a value then a record will be created in the database. The only problem with this is, if the value is First Name, the information hasn't been filled in and a row must not be created. PHP then carries on looping to insert any other records that have a value in this field.

Which one of your options would be the better choice in this circumstance?

Thank you for your patience.

Hi hernst,

I think the code above is recognizing a value of First Name and then clearing every $_POST value there is.

The only value that should be cleared is the ins_cont_fina field.

If I'm incorrect, would you be kind enough to explain how it works??

Thank you

Thank you
