Dobře, po několika pokusech a omylech a nějaké pomoci od @Rizier123, zde je odpověď:
html na stránce formuláře
Kvůli přehlednosti jsem se snažil přijít na to, jak přidat několik polí dat do mé db. Takže na stránce dynamického formuláře mám vstupy podobné:
<p>Location: <input type='text' name='location[]' > </p>
Zpracování formuláře a vložení dat do DB
Nejprve jsem přešel z mysqli na PDO, pak jsem běžel s následujícím kódem:
try {
$sql = "INSERT INTO location_info (`department`, `participant`, `activity`, `location`, `rec_injuries`, `rec_injuries_timeframe`, `non_rec_injuries`, `non_rec_injuries_timeframe`, `competitor`, `cost_per_pair`, `usage_rate`, `leakage`, `cost_of_productivity`, `non_rec_impact`, `non_rec_sprain`, `non_rec_puncture`, `non_rec_dermatitis`, `non_rec_infection`, `non_rec_burns`, `non_rec_cuts`, `rec_impact`, `rec_sprain`, `rec_puncture`, `rec_dermatitis`, `rec_infection`, `rec_burns`, `rec_cuts`, `condition`, `general_id`)
VALUES (:department, :participant, :activity, :location, :rec_injuries, :rec_injuries_timeframe, :non_rec_injuries, :non_rec_injuries_timeframe, :competitor, :cost_per_pair, :usage_rate, :leakage, :cost_of_productivity,:non_rec_impact, :non_rec_sprain, :non_rec_puncture, :non_rec_dermatitis, :non_rec_infection, :non_rec_burns, :non_rec_cuts, :rec_impact, :rec_sprain, :rec_puncture, :rec_dermatitis, :rec_infection, :rec_burns, :rec_cuts, :condition, '{$id}')";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
for($i = 0, $l = count($_POST["department_name"]); $i < $l; $i++) {
$loc_info = array(':department' => $_POST["department_name"][$i],
':participant' => $_POST["participant_name"][$i],
':activity' => $_POST["activity"][$i],
':location' => $_POST["location"][$i],
':rec_injuries' => $_POST["injuries"][$i],

':non_rec_injuries_timeframe' => $_POST["non_rec_injury_timeframe"][$i],
':competitor' => $_POST["competitor"][$i],
':cost_per_pair' => $_POST["cost_per_pair"][$i],
':usage_rate' => $_POST["usage_rate"][$i],

':non_rec_dermatitis' => $_POST["non_rec_dermatitis"][$i],
':non_rec_infection' => $_POST["non_rec_infection"][$i],
':non_rec_burns' => $_POST["non_rec_burns"][$i],
':non_rec_cuts' => $_POST["non_rec_cuts"][$i],
':rec_impact' => $_POST["impact"][$i],
':rec_sprain' => $_POST["sprain"][$i],
':rec_puncture' => $_POST["puncture"][$i],
':rec_dermatitis' => $_POST["dermatitis"][$i],
':rec_infection' => $_POST["infection"][$i],
':rec_burns' => $_POST["burns"][$i],
':rec_cuts' => $_POST["cuts"][$i],
':condition' => $_POST["condition"][$i] );
$stmt->execute($loc_info);
}
