array of undetermined length loop and count

Hi, I need to make a form where a person fills out their Name, DOB, and Email to register for an event. On the same page, I want to offer them to pay for 0-10 of their friends as well, filling out the same information.

So, I need the three fields and am assuming to put them into an array (other options?) ie <input name="Name[]" type="text">.

I need to access this information, by 1. how many items in this array to figure out a total cost, and 2, to loop through the array to insert the people into a mysql table.

How do I do these and is there a better way of going about this? I am pretty darn solid on php, however, am horrible with implementing arrays.
