Using $_GET with array form values

twilson

I haven't really worked hard on figuring this out, but I thought someone might know offhand.

I have a select multiple such as:

<SELECT SIZE=10 NAME=ot[areas] MULTIPLE>
<OPTION>A</OPTION>
<OPTION>q</OPTION>
<OPTION>w</OPTION>
<OPTION>e</OPTION>
<OPTION>r</OPTION>
<OPTION>t</OPTION>
<OPTION>y</OPTION>
<OPTION>u</OPTION>
<OPTION>i</OPTION>
<OPTION>o</OPTION>
<OPTION>p</OPTION>
<OPTION>s</OPTION>
</SELECT>

Note the name of the SELECT. I'm trying to do this with it, just for testing:

foreach ($_GET['ot[areas]'] as $area) { echo "$area"; }

But I am getting this error message, understandably:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/www/users/ourtown2/update/add_login.php on line 13

I just don't know what to do to fix it. Anyone know?

Thanks for the help,
Tom 🙂

Your Using a Super Global and at the same time using an Array. Im pretty sure that aint possible.. But i could be wrong

<html>
<head>
<title>Select for array</title>
</head>

<? if ($Submitted) {
        $areas=array();
        $areas=$_GET[ot];
        foreach ($areas as $area) { echo "$area<br>"; }

} else {


echo "<form action=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\" method=\"get\">";
echo "<SELECT SIZE=10 NAME=ot[] MULTIPLE>";
echo "<BR><OPTION>A</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>q</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>w</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>e</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>r</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>t</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>y</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>u</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>i</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>o</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>p</OPTION>";
echo "<br><OPTION>s</OPTION></SELECT>";
echo "<br><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=\"Submitted\" Value=1>";
echo "<br><INPUT TYPE=submit value=submit>";
        }

?>

This worked. Looks like take the 'key' off the array in the html 'form' section....

HTH,
