Step 1: Create Database Table

In fist step, we need to create database and table, so here i created "test" database and "tagslist" table with id and name column. You can simply create "tagslist" table as following sql query.

SQL Query:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tagslist` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=24 ;

Step 2: Create index.php File

Here, we need to create index.php file and i created form with one input text box and button. I also write code for add more fields in jquery. So let's create index.php file and put bellow code.

index.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>PHP - Dynamically Add or Remove input fields using JQuery</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" />  
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container">
    <h2 align="center">PHP - Dynamically Add or Remove input fields using JQuery</h2>  
    <div class="form-group">
         <form name="add_name" id="add_name">

            <div class="table-responsive">  
                <table class="table table-bordered" id="dynamic_field">  
                    <tr>  
                        <td><input type="text" name="name[]" placeholder="Enter your Name" class="form-control name_list" required="" /></td>  
                        <td><button type="button" name="add" id="add" class="btn btn-success">Add More</button></td>  
                    </tr>  
                </table>  
                <input type="button" name="submit" id="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Submit" />  
            </div>

         </form>  
    </div> 
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){      
      var postURL = "/addmore.php";
      var i=1;  

      $('#add').click(function(){  
           i++;  
           $('#dynamic_field').append('<tr id="row'+i+'" class="dynamic-added"><td><input type="text" name="name[]" placeholder="Enter your Name" class="form-control name_list" required /></td><td><button type="button" name="remove" id="'+i+'" class="btn btn-danger btn_remove">X</button></td></tr>');  
      });

      $(document).on('click', '.btn_remove', function(){  
           var button_id = $(this).attr("id");   
           $('#row'+button_id+'').remove();  
      });  

      $('#submit').click(function(){            
           $.ajax({  
                url:postURL,  
                method:"POST",  
                data:$('#add_name').serialize(),
                type:'json',
                success:function(data)  
                {
                  	i=1;
                  	$('.dynamic-added').remove();
                  	$('#add_name')[0].reset();
    				        alert('Record Inserted Successfully.');
                }  
           });  
      });

    });  
</script>
</body>
</html>
