Array again..

[maxime]

Hi! i have a big problem.

I MUST be able topass an array (3 arrays)
when i post wy page.

please telle me how because im freakin here.

Er, how do you make your array in the first place?

Just store it in the session then pull it from the session in the next page. There is no need to pass an array in the get or post if the user isn't creating the array using a select box, etc.

it easy just name the variable name[]

i.e.

<FORM action="someprog.php" action="post">

<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">1
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">2
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">3
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">4
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">5
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">6
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">7
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkbx[]">8

<INPUT type="submit">

</FORM>

this will pass an array called chkbx to the program smeprg.php

The page must reload to itself...

Mark : you think it can work with hidden type fields?

You were almost on.. when I need to pass array's through pages, I put them in hidden variables to be posted, as such:

<input type=hidden name=array1 value="<?= urlencode(serialize($array1)); ?>">

So in the next page, you can retrieve it as so:

$array1 = unserialize(urldecode($array1));

And you are done.. hope that helps!
