Well.....in a sense it has turned into a PHP question. But I think you misunderstood my previous question.
Basically, the normal way of getting the form fields into PHP to process the data doesn't work. These new text boxes are dynamically created by JavaScript which must be the reason PHP can't assign variables to them as they don't "exist" as far as PHP can reason. (I could be completely wrong). So the question is, what is the process to read in the values from these dynamic textboxes such that the values can be assigned to PHP?
Thank You for your help up to this point,

You are completely wrong. 
PHP won't know or care how an HTML element was created, or how it got its value. As long as the element is part of a form with a proper action tag pointing to the PHP page, it makes no difference at all how the element was created or populated.
Also, an element that is submitted as a form isn't a GET request, it's a POST reqest. Perhaps that is your problem, looking for the values in GET, rather than POST.
