passing arrays from php to shell script

[michaelfn]

I have a text area form to allow someone to input their resume.
Here is my code for the php file:

$arresume = explode("\n",$resume);
$command = "sh resume.sh 1 \"$arresume\";
passthru($command);

And here is my code for resume.sh:
resume "${1}"

Then it will goto C program to input the resume into database with Appgen software.
I think I have a big mistake with passing the arrays into the shell script. How far off am I? Please reply me ASAP. Thanks.

Can you passthru directly to the C program instead of having the shell script in between?

What parameter is the C program looking for, a file name, the whole text of the resume? How would it be run from the command line?

I really have no clue how to pass directly to the C program. It would be nice if I can do that.
The C program looks for the raw output.
The passthru() function executes an external program. That's why when I use:
$command = "sh resume.sh 1 \"resume\";
passthru($command);
the var $command executes the bash file, which is resume.sh
Well, it's working for all other variables except the variable arrays. If anyone knows the solution, please reply me ASAP.

you shouldn't explode the resume.

Did you try leaving it in the scalar form and then escaping the quotes before sending it.

I did ... and it went to the Appgen database as 1 single long line. I don't want that happen. I want to input each line by line in the database.

I still stuck on this problem. If someone can solve this problem, please help me. Thanks.
