Sorry. I'll try to explain:

The form has 5 input fields for "subject" (forget "member"):
input type="text" name="subject" value="" ... repeated 5 times

The user can enter data in 1-5 five of these.

This gets passed on to the DBI script.
The script should produce one INSERT INTO statement for each value entered, such as:
"INSERT INTO subjects VALUES ($FORM{'subject'})";

(the table "subjects" consists simply of auto-incremented id and subject).

An easy way would of course be to name the input fields subject1, subject2 etc., but it would be better to solve it with some kind of loop.

Again, many thanks for your help!
