Multiple mysql records from single form inputs

Form input has same fields multiple times

[webwatch]

I am trying to develop a form which has the user inputing data in a columnar format. Each column has multiple fields (one for each row) there are 12 columns, I was able to submit to MySql database the first column fields. All subsequent columns would be the same field inputs but the values could be different. I need each column to be submitted to the database as a seperate record by using only one form submit. Is this possible and if so how can I make this happen?

Thanks in advance.

You can make input fields that are arrays. So make each of these column values an array, and each of the rows will be array elements. Like:
<input name="last_name[]"><input name="first_name[]">

I believe the above works, though it's been a while since I've tried it. You'll have to try this yourself just to be sure. If not, it's easy enough to put incrementing numbers inside those brackets - last_name[1], first_name[1], last_name[2], first_name[2]. $_POST['last_name'] and other post values will then come through as arrays, use print_r($_POST) to check.
