What have you tried? Please post your existing code.
And a small hint would be for you to use the value from the select box in a for loop...

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function make_textbox(no)
{
if(no < 1)
return false;
var my_textbox = "";
for(var i=0;i<no;i++)
{
my_textbox += "<br>Text Box "+eval(i+1)+": <input type='text' name='textfield["+i+"]'>";
}
document.getElementById("text_id").innerHTML = my_textbox;

Manish Singh one more thing how i can submit these data to database? thanks in advance
Please let me know structure of your table.
<?php
if($_POST['submit'] == "Submit")
{
$textbox = $_POST['textfield'];
if(is_array($textbox))
{
foreach($textbox as $textkey=>$textvalue)
{
$textvalue = trim($textvalue);
if($textvalue <> "")
{
//your insert query......
}
}
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function make_textbox(no)
{
if(no < 1)
return false;
var my_textbox = "";
for(var i=0;i<no;i++)
{
my_textbox += "<br>Text Box "+eval(i+1)+": <input type='text' name='textfield["+i+"]'>";
}
document.getElementById("text_id").innerHTML = my_textbox;
}
</script>

<body>
<form name="myfrm" method="POST">

</html>i just want to to add the enterd value in the input boxs to simble table where the it only store the vlue of the data enterd
manish i am really thanks full to u but what if there is other fields is the code going to be disturbed
like
if i want to submit to data base the flowing:
Name (input field)
Email (input field)
Contact No (input field)
Number of cars you want to insure (this the drop box)
and if the user select from the drop down 4 the 4 input text will appear and then he will put the car registration numbers and when he press submit button the name will store in name colum in the database and email and contact no it will also and then each value of the text box will store in it is coulm like car 1 with regestation numer and the car2 with regestation number and so on
is that possible? thanks man u helped me a lot
I think you will have to make two tables (use normalization of table)
1. car_owner
id (primary key, Auto incr.)
name
email
contact
2. car_registration
id (primary key , Auto incr.)
owner_id (foreign key)
reg_no
<?php
if($_POST['submit'] == "Submit")
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$contact = $_POST['contact'];
$textbox = $_POST['textfield'];
$query = "insert into car_owner(name,email,contact) values ('".$name."','".$email."','".$contcat."') ";
mysql_query($query);
$last_insert_id = mysql_insert_id();
if(is_array($textbox))
{
foreach($textbox as $textvalue)
{
$textvalue = trim($textvalue);
if($textvalue <> "")
{
$sub_query = "insert into car_registration(owner_id,reg_no) values('".$last_insert_id."','".$textvalue."') ";
mysql_query($sub_query);
}
}
}
}
?>NOTE :
1. if you have 50 text boxes and user will fill only one text box.
rest of 49 will be wastage of storage.
2. Later if u want to display 55 boxes, then no need to change in code only increase $i<=55.
