Arghhh! Passing Arrays In Forms

[mindschreck]

Greets,

I am trying to pass an array via POST on a form. I can retrieve the serialized value, which looks like this:

after urldecode
a:1:{i:0;a:2:{i:0;s:12:"YTDRegister ";i:1;s💯"YTD Register ";}}

But, when I unserialize it, it gets NULLed out. I played with add and stripslashes, but to no avail.

What am I missing here?

Cheers,
Jason

how are you trying to pass an array? like this:

<form action="script.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="array[0]">
<input type="submit">
</form>

is this basically it? then if so, don't unserialize it. just call $array[0] and you will get the value.

You might try base64encoding the serialized array when you are passing it in the form.

base64 uses + and = as data, those are obviously not url safe, so you might have to run the string through rawurlencode if you want to pass it over the url, you shouldn't need to do this if you just want to do POST only though.

$string = base64_encode(serialize($array));

pass the string

$array = unserialize(base64_decode($string));
