How to get the Array to Stick??

Anon

I have an array, I press submit and the array no longer is found. How do I get the array to keep for future use in processing? Here is a small example im working with, thanks for the help. (Yes Ive read the manual sections and browsed the forum history and am still at a loss)

<?php

if ($submit){
print "test";
$size=sizeof($evt_array);
print_r($evt_array);
print $size;
}
else
{

	$evt_array = array("yes","no","maybe");
	print_r($evt_array);

print "first";
$size=sizeof($evt_array);
print $size;
print "<form action=\"work.php\" method=\"POST\">";
print "<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>  <input type=reset name=reset value=reset onclick=\"javascript:document.location.href='work.php' \"></form>\n";
}

you can do three things:

put the $evt_array into a session
set a cookie to store $evt_array
or you can place hidden inputs in your form like so:

if i were you, i would use sessions.

You could always pass a variable in the URL, which would be similar to how you pass the SID as well.

In your form submission use

form action=\"work.php\?evt_array=<=$evt_array?>"

then you can access $evt_array

Correction:

form action=\"work.php\?evt_array=<?=$evt_array?>"

Sorry slight slip, missed a ? out, should be as above (i.e. =<? and not =<)
