PHP: Manual: PHP and HTML How do I create arrays in a HTML form?
To get your form result sent as an array to your PHP script you name the input, select or textarea elements like this:
<input name=”MyArray[]”>
<input name=”MyArray[]”>
<input name=”MyArray[]”>
<input name=”MyArray[]”>

Notice the square brackets after the variable name, that’s what makes it an array. You can group the elements into different arrays by assigning the same name to different elements:
<input name=”MyArray[]”>
<input name=”MyArray[]”>
<input name=”MyOtherArray[]”>
<input name=”MyOtherArray[]”>

This produces two arrays, MyArray and MyOtherArray, that gets sent to the PHP script. It’s also possible to assign specific keys to your arrays:

<input name=”AnotherArray[]”>
<input name=”AnotherArray[]”>
<input name=”AnotherArray[email]”>
<input name=”AnotherArray[phone]”>

The AnotherArray array will now contain the keys 0, 1, email and phone.
Note: Specifying an arrays key is optional in HTML. If you do not specify the keys, the array gets filled in the order the elements appear in the form. Our first example will contain keys 0, 1, 2 and 3.
