 * I was asked to do a post_type which will have unknown number of fields, so i 
   did it with jQuery and the jQuery works fine but it’s not updating the fields
   in the DB, help please?
 * The function.php part
 *     ```
       function post_type_lookbook() {
       	$support = array('title','author');
       	register_post_type( 'lookbook',
       		array( 'label' => __('LookBook'),'taxonomies' => array('category', 'post_tag'), 'public' => true, 'show_ui' => true,  'query_var' => true, 'supports' => $support, 'menu_position' => 5,'capability_type' => 'post','rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'lookbook' ) ) );  
   
       }
   
       add_action('save_post', 'save_price2');
           function meta_options2(){
               global $post, $meta_boxes;
               $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
       		$countm = $custom["_countm"][0];
       		for($i=0,$i<$countm;$i++;){
               	$male.$i = $custom["_male".$i][0];
       		}
   
       // look up for the path
   
       global $wpdb;
   
       ?>
           <div class="form-field male"><label>Masculino:<input class="male" name="male0" rel="0" value="<?php echo $countm; ?>" /><input name="countm" class="count" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $countm;?>" /></label></div>
           <br /><a class="mais" href="#">Adicionar mais um campo</a><br /><br />//the link that adds another field(s)
       <?php
           }
   
       function save_price2(){
           global $post;
       	update_post_meta($post->ID, "_countm", $_POST["countm"]);
       	for($i=0,$i<$_POST['countm'];$i++;){
           	update_post_meta($post->ID, "_male".$i."", $_POST["male".$i]);
       	}
   
       }
       ```
   
 * the jQuery script
 *     ```
       jQuery(document).ready(function() {
       jQuery('.mais').live("click", function(){
   
       	var numero = jQuery('.male:last').attr('rel');
   
       	prox = parseInt(numero);
   
       	prox = prox+1;
   
       		jQuery('.male:last')
   
       		.clone()
   
       		.appendTo('.form-field.male')
   
       		.attr('rel', prox)
   
       		.attr('name', 'male'+prox)
   
       		jQuery('.male:last').val('');
   
       		jQuery('.count').val(prox);
   
       	});
       });
       ```

               $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
       		$countm = $custom["_countm"][0];
       		for($i=0;$i<=$countm;$i++){
       			$male[$i] = $custom["_male[".$i."]"][0];
       		}
   
       		$countf = $custom["countf"];
       		for($i=0;$i<=$countm;$i++){
       			$female[$i] = $custom["_female[".$i."]"][0];
       		}
   
       // look up for the path
   
       global $wpdb;
   
       ?>
           <div class="form-field male"><label>Masculino:
           <?php for($i=0;$i<=$countm;$i++){?>
