Add multiple users

Question

Hi, I'm trying to build a web-hotel and I have come this far: http://studenter.miun.se/~bjno1501/dt057g/webbutveckling2/php/practise/request.php

My next step is to add multiple users and I want to come next to each others from the top to bottom, like: "Mikael" "Andrew" "Jessica" and so on.

I guess I'm supposed to use a =+ symbol maybe, is there anyone who knows? Thank you everyone :)

I apologise for my english, my native language is Swedish. And bugs me that the code won't as it should now when I posts it.. Here is the code:

Request.php

<html>
<body>

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
  Name: <input type="text" name="fname">
  <input type="submit">
</form>

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // collect value of input field
    $name = $_REQUEST['fname'];
    if (empty($name)) {
        echo "Name is empty";
    } else {
        echo"<p> $name <a href='includes/log-out.php'>Delete</a></p>";
    }
}
?>

</body>
</html>

log-out.php
<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();
header("location:../request.php");

?>

With PHP, my best assertion is that you'd need to store the array data in a database and use SQL to reference the stored data.

Then call the data from the database, e.g.:

<?php
//after fetching the $_POST value, this would call the additional names you have stored
$query = "SELECT first_name FROM names;";
$result = mysqli_query($db_connection, $query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
$fname = $row['first_name'];

foreach ($fname as $name) {
 echo"<p> $name <a href='includes/log-out.php'>Delete</a></p>";
}
?>

Probably something in that area.
