修改javascript以输出表单名称而不是表单ID

Question

I made several input field boxes with the following code:

<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[ 
    $(window).load(function(){
        $('.add').click(function(){
            par_id=$(this).parent().attr('id');
            count=$("#"+par_id+"> input").length;
            id=par_id.toString();
            $(this).parent().append("<br/><input type='text' id='"+id+"'>");
        });
    });//]]>  
</script>

I'm using the aforementioned code in order to create input fields that can dynamically add new fields.

This code creates multiple identical form ids, but I want it to create multiple identical form names so I can output it altogether using the foreach command.

Now I want to output the input data into a PHP using this

<?php
    foreach($_POST['formid'] as $value) {
        echo "$value <br />";
    }
?>

What I want to ask is that the foreach command will only output data from the form name, but the javascript code I am using creates more input forms by the form id, not the form name.

So I need a code that will create more input boxes with form name, not form id!

I'm not sure how to modify the original code, since I got it from another website.

Please help!

You simply need to add a name attribute to the code which is inserted by the javascript function.

Original:

$(this).parent().append("<br/><input type='text' id='"+id+"'>");

Ammended:

$(this).parent().append("<br/><input type='text' name='yourinputname' id='"+id+"'>");

EDIT: Just and afterthought...

If the ID serves no purpose and only the name attribute is required, the majority of this code is unnecessary and can be reduced to the following.

<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[ 
    $(window).load(function(){
        $('.add').click(function(){
            $(this).parent().append("<br/><input type='text' name='yourinputname');
        });
    });//]]>  
</script>
