I know I'm a bit late to this topic and I may have missed a comment along
the way, but what about making a change to the form, is that possible?
Instead of calling your form entries book_title_1, book_title_2,
book_title_3 etc why not use book_title[] for all instances of book_title?
This way the PHP code would be something like:
for($i=0; $i<sizeof($_POST['book_title']); $i++)
{
$addtocart = "INSERT INTO `curriculum` VALUES
('',$_POST['book_title'][$i],$_POST['book_level'][$i],
$_POST['level_grades'][$i],$_POST['book_section'][$i],
$_POST['chapter'][$i],$_POST['chapter_title'][$i],
$_POST['lesson_title'][$i],$_POST['skill'][$i],
$_POST['life_skill'][$i],$_POST['success_indicator'][$i],
$_POST['ncscos'][$i],$_POST['subject'][$i],
$_POST['pages'][$i],$_POST['c_kit'][$i])";
}
This would allow you to add or remove form 'rows' without having to update
the PHP code.
(Code is untested !!)
