I have simple form with mutiples of 2 fields: status1 / name1,status2 / name2...


<form method="post" action="test1_edit.php">
<input type='checkbox' name='status[]' value='active'>Status1
<input name="name[]" type="text" />Name1<br />
<input type='checkbox' name='status[]' value='active'>Status2
<input name="name[]" type="text" />Name2<br />
<input name="submit" type="submit" /><br />
</form>

The test1_edit.php file is as below. If I only INSERT $status, the form is working fine, but I don't how to INSERT both $status and $name in FOREACH.


$status=$_POST['status'];
$name=$_POST['name'];

foreach ($status as $status ){
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO test (status)
VALUES('$status')",$connection);
//mysql_query ("INSERT INTO test (status, name))
VALUES('$status','$name')",$connection);// This doesn't work.
if (mysql_affected_rows()==1){
continue;
} else {
echo "<p class='register'> Something went wrong!</p>";
break;
}
}
header("Location: test1.php");
?>


Thanks for help! This is really urgent for tomorrow the assingment is due.
