input multi-dimensional arrays?

[Anon]

Hi!

I need to be able to submit a multi-dimensional array directly from an HTML form.

example:

<form action=whatever.php>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=array1[subarray[2]]>
<input type=submit>
</FORM>

Simple enough, a two-dimensional array.

But when I do this, what I get is an array
$array1 with the key "subarray[subarray" in it.

"subarray" is not a key for another array...

Can u help?

That's because that is not how sub arrays are done in php. Try this:

<input type=hidden name="array1[array2][2]" value="blah blah">

Then in your script:

$array1["array2"][2] would point to the your second level array item.
