passing a passed array

[Anon]

I have just started using php, so please have patience with me.

What I am trying to do is pass information from a form, to a confirmation page, and then to a page that submits to a database. The form has checkboxes on in in one section like so...

(THIS IS IN FORM)
<input type="checkbox" name="items[]" value="A"> A<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="items[]" value="B"> B<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="items[]" value="C"> C

(THIS IS IN CONFIRM)

<?
$count=(count($items));
if ($count > 0) {
foreach($items as $item) {
echo $item;
echo "<br>";
}
}
?>

The confirm page has a form with hidden fields like...
<?
...
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"items[]\" value=$items>"
...
?>

When I check the size of the array (items) that is sent to the confirm page, it will be "3" if all three are checked. When I check what is sent to my action page, I get "1".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Don

Hmm...., you should do this:

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($items); $i++) {
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"items[]\" value=" . $items[$i] . ">";
}

This is because: you know how you have three items[] fields in your main HTML? you should have the exact same in the confirm: three items[] <input> tags which contain the individual values.

Sorry to bother you, but what is the significance of the periods around $items below?

value=" . $items[$i] . "

Thanks again,

Sorry, I figured out the concatination of the "."

I thought it may have to do with the array for some reason.

Thanks again for all your help.
