PHP和jQuery - 将输入值推送到要发布的数组中

Question

I'm building a form - a section of which dynamically generates and increments input field's individual ids when the user hits the 'replicate' button. For instance, an input field made for a first name has an id of 'firstname1', when it replicates it becomes 'firstname2' etc etc.

My problem is in the php 'confirmation' page I'm trying to build. I want to echo out every input field generated and filled without hardcoding a bunch of echoes. I was told to use arrays instead of individual variable names - i kind of understand the concept but am falling way short.

I tried to create an array to capture the value of every new input so I can just $_POST the array, then loop and echo each value, but I don't really understand what needs to change and where to implement it.

The following code replicates the entire container div, it's input fields, and increments it's class number:

$(#replicate').click(function(){
  var $cloned = $('.container1').clone();
  $cloned.find('input').val('');
  $cloned.appendTo($('.emptyContainer'));
  var container = $(".emptyContainer div").length;
  var containerNumber = container + 1;
  var containerClass = 'container' + containerNumber; 
  $(".emptyContainer .container1").attr("class", containerClass);

Then the input ids increment in the same fashion:

var fnameID = 'firstname' + containerNumber;
$('.emptyContainer #firstname1').attr({id: fnameID, name: fnameID});

There are more inputs that would include things like last name, phone, email etc.

Another user suggested:

foreach($_POST as $fieldName=>$fieldValue){
  echo $fieldName." = ".$fieldValue."<br/>";
}

While that worked to get me everything on the php page it was all in one large block, which would make the later styling a bit troubling.

How do I grab the input values for each new input, store them in an array, and post them to the php side in such a way that all related information stays in it's related areas when the user hits submit?

You can try following method, as this method works best for me in case of dynamic rows.

code is not much readable since i directly pasted from the project but still hope it would be helpful

$('.add-option').live('click',function(){

        if(rowCtr < ucount){
            var tr = '<tr class="input-'+counter+'"><td><select id="itb_users" class="itb_users" name="project[itb_users]['+counter+']" >'
                tr +=     '<option value=0>Select</option>'
                          <?php foreach ($itb_users as $item){ ?>
                tr +=             '<option grade="<?php echo $item->grade; ?>" value="<?php echo $item->id; ?>"><?php echo $item->first_name; ?></option>';  
                         <?php } ?>
                tr +=   '</select>'
                tr += '</td>'
                tr +=   '<td>&nbsp;</td>'
                tr +=   '<td><input class="_hour" id="project[input-hour]['+counter+']" name="hours['+counter+']" type="text" class="field" style="width:30px"/></td>'
                tr +=   '<td><img class="add-option" src="'+'<?php img_src('add.png'); ?>'+'" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<img class="remove-option" src="'+'<?php img_src('remove.png'); ?>'+'" /></td>'
                tr +=   '</tr>';
                counter++;
                rowCtr++;
     .......

on submitting the php will receive a variable project with related records.
