Interesting! Consulting the manual, I see that you are correct. So the OP
would do something like:
$sql="insert into foo values ";
foreach($formdata as $thisdata){
$sql.="($thisdata,...,...,...),";
}
$result=mysql_query($sql);
(of course the above code is broken, because it would leave an extra comma
at the end, but this is the general idea, no?)
