Hey CI'ers!!
I need to make some view with a dynamic number of input boxes so that the users can submit several files with only one submit, using (the user) one button for adding one input box at a time.
What's the better solution to solve this problem (view and controller)? (just looking for tips, not asking for code =)).
Thks a lot!

My question isn't if I should use view or controller since I'm gonna need both.
The question is how can I make the process dynamic. How can I make a button that generates input boxes (one at a time) and after that how can I send that info to my controller?
Thks!

Here is solution using Jquery:

In View:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

    &lt;head&gt;

        <s.c.r.i.p.t. src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></s.c.r.i.p.t.>

        <s.c.r.i.p.t type="text/javascript">

        $("#more_one_input").click(function(){

            var html = "&lt;input type='text' name='my_dynamic_inputs[]' /&gt;";

            $("#my_dynamic_input_div").append(html);

        });

        </s.c.r.i.p.t.>

    &lt;/head&gt;

    &lt;body&gt;

        <a href="#" id="more_one_input">Add one input</a>

        &lt;?=form_open("my_form")?&gt;

        <div id="my_dynamic_input_div"></div>

        <p>&lt;?=form_submit()?&gt;</p>

        &lt;?=form_close()?&gt;

    &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

In PHP:

Code:
&lt;?php

class my_form extends Controller {

    function index()

    {

        $my_inputs_array_values = $this->input->post("my_dynamic_inputs");

        foreach ($my_inputs_array_values as $key => $value )

        {

            echo $value;

        }

        if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

        {

            $this->load->view('myform');

        }

        else

        {

            $this->load->view('formsuccess');

        }

    }

}

?&gt;

Not tested, errors are expected!

Hope it helps
