How do you pass array variables...

[Anon]

I have input boxes that are identified by the following:

<input type="text" name="day5[]" size=3 maxlength=3>

What I am trying to do is, pass the variable $day5[], etc, into a couple of functions.

Here is a call to a function below:

<?
if(update_timesheets($user_id, $weekEndDate, $job_code, $description, $day1[], $day2[], $day3[], $day4[], $day5[], $day6[], $day7[]))
echo "Your Timesheet has been submitted for the following Job Codes: <p> $job_code</p>";
else
echo "For some reason $user_id, your timesheet could not be added to the database";

?>

PhP does not like the "[]". How do I pass this over with those brackets?

Thanks

I doubt if you can pass an array by a form post.
If it is possible at all you should not have to append the brackets. Using brackets by calling an array variabele is calling one specific element from that array.

Maybe you can implode the array with a delimitter, post it via the form, and then explode the posted var using the same delimitter.

Simple: dont pass the brackets. $day5 is fine....

you need to use serialize() to pass it, and unserialize() to form it back into an array after you have passed it.
