Cool Inserting to a DB multiple entries

Hi,

I have a form that has multiple input boxes on the one page (ie under same form tag)...I need to collect the form data in one submit but the data from each input box needs to go into the db as a new record (ie a new row).

Can anyone provide me with a nice clean way of doing this?

Thank you.

Just loop over the form fields and within the loop execute the insert statement. You'll get one insert for each iteration of the loop.

Just as an example, if the forms were "customer1", "customer2", and "customer3", you'd do something like:

<cfloop list="#form.fieldNames#" index="thisField">
<cfif left( thisField, 8 ) eq "customer">
<cfquery name="insertCustomer" datasource="myDSN">
insert into Customers ( customerName ) values( '#form[thisField]#' )
</cfquery>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
