PHP code isn't allowing multiple input values to send through my form

Question

I am running into a wall with an application I have built. I am brand new to PHP (less than 1 month) and I have written a very complex form with the help of a mentor. Due to a confidentiality agreement I cannot send my entire code here for an example. Specifically the issue I am having is that my form isn't able to send multiple values to two different input "slots". It will send a singular input value to the database, but it should be registering the different values inputted.

<?php                        
{
foreach($results['tags'] as $part){
if ($part['category'] == "Part"){
?>
<tr>
<td><?= $part['Part']; ?></td>
<td class="text-center"><?= $product['Amount']; ?></td>
<td><input type="text" name=$product['Val1'] /></td>
<td><input type="text" name=$product['Val2'] /></td>
</tr>

<?php
    }
      }

         }

            ?>

My mentor suggested this as an answer but I am not sure what he means: "It seems like the [val1/2] needs to be tied to the product instead of the transaction. Right now, it’s not inside that “tags” section. Does that make sense?"

Answer 1

You're trying to name your vars with $. I suppose you want to output php values there, so change your string to look like this:

<td><input type="text" name="<?= $product['Val1'] ?>"/></td>
