                  <div class="form-group">        
                    <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">

                  </div>
                </form>

in this form i have these 2 fields where i want to store these values to php array, the fields may vary like 3,5,6.

<div class="user-box">        
       <div class="form-group"><label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="invite-1">Member 1 email</label><div class="albox col-sm-10"><input type="email" class="form-control" name="invite[]" placeholder="[email protected]" required=""></div></div>

        <div class="form-group"><label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="invite-2">Member 2 email</label><div class="albox col-sm-10"><input type="email" class="form-control" name="invite[]" placeholder="[email protected]" required=""></div></div>              
</div>

when i click submit button the other values should be inserted and values of these fields should be added to array. how can i do this?

Please set the field names like this

    <input type="email" class="form-control" name="invite[]" placeholder="[email protected]" required="">

    <input type="email" class="form-control" name="invite[]" placeholder="[email protected]" required="">

and you can have values in PHP like this:

    foreach ( $_POST["invite"] as $invite ) {
        echo $invite;
    }

... and then access the values via $_POST["invite"]

Atif Tariq Over a year ago

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($_POST["invite"]); $i++ ) { echo $_POST["invite"][$i]; }

In php you can read posted array

$my_array=$_POST["invite"];
for($i=0;$i<count($my_array);$i++){
echo $my_array[$i];
//.. do what you want
}

A "for each" loop would be a much cleaner approach
